For , let be the affine barriers from the bounded slope condition. Their constant gradients satisfy the Euler-Lagrange equation, so they minimize the autonomous convex functional for their own boundary values. The comparison principle givesSince both barriers equal at and are -Lipschitz,for and . The supplied boundary-to-interior criterion now gives .
