This is a partial formalization of the Hessian coercivity statement associated with Lemma 2.4 of Letwin (arXiv:2607.24164v1).

Let n∈Nn\in\mathbb Nn∈N and let u,V:EuclideanSpace⁡(R,Fin⁡(n))→Ru,V:\operatorname{EuclideanSpace}(\mathbb R,\operatorname{Fin}(n))\to\mathbb Ru,V:EuclideanSpace(R,Fin(n))→R. Assume:

  1. uuu is C1C^1C1 and ∇u\nabla u∇u is Lipschitz.
  2. VVV is differentiable and convex on the whole space.
  3. For almost every xxx, with H(x)=hessianMatrix⁡(u,x)H(x)=\operatorname{hessianMatrix}(u,x)H(x)=hessianMatrix(u,x), H(x)H(x)H(x) is positive definite,
log⁡det⁡H(x)=−u(x)+V(∇u(x)),\log\det H(x)=-u(x)+V(\nabla u(x)),logdetH(x)=−u(x)+V(∇u(x)),

and KI−H(x)K I-H(x)KI−H(x) is positive semidefinite.

For every increment hhh, for almost every xxx,

∥H(x+h)−H(x)∥F2+∥H(x−h)−H(x)∥F22K2≤tr⁡ ⁣(H(x)−1Hw(x))−DV(∇u(x))(∇w(x))+w(x),\frac{\|H(x+h)-H(x)\|_F^2+\|H(x-h)-H(x)\|_F^2}{2K^2} \le \operatorname{tr}\!\left(H(x)^{-1}H_w(x)\right) -DV(\nabla u(x))(\nabla w(x))+w(x),2K2∥H(x+h)−H(x)∥F2​+∥H(x−h)−H(x)∥F2​​≤tr(H(x)−1Hw​(x))−DV(∇u(x))(∇w(x))+w(x),

where w(y)=u(y+h)+u(y−h)−2u(y)w(y)=u(y+h)+u(y-h)-2u(y)w(y)=u(y+h)+u(y−h)−2u(y) and Hw=hessianMatrix⁡(w,⋅)H_w=\operatorname{hessianMatrix}(w,\cdot)Hw​=hessianMatrix(w,⋅). The almost-everywhere qualifier is with respect to Lebesgue measure, and no positivity of KKK is separately assumed.
