Suppose f(0)=0, f′(0)=c, h=(f′)−1 is differentiable, and k−​<h′/2<k+​<0. Then h(c)=g(c)=0 for the concave Legendre dual g, and
k−​≤2(z−c)h(z)​≤k+​(z=c),k−​(z−c)2≤g(z)≤k+​(z−c)2.

Integrate the derivative bounds from c to z, then integrate g′=h. Multiplying the first inequality by a negative z−c reverses both comparisons. A bound valid without cases is ∣h(z)∣≤−2k−​∣z−c∣.
