Abstract
Let be a separable superreflexive Banach space and be a semiconvex function (with a general modulus) on . For , let be the set of points , at which the Clarke subdifferential is at least -dimensional. Note that is the set of all points at which is not G\^ ateaux differentiable. Then can be covered by countably many Lipschitz surfaces of codimension which are described by functions, which are differences of two semiconvex functions. If is separable and superreflexive Banach space which admits an equivalent norm with modulus of smoothness of power type (e.g., if is a Hilbert space or with ), we give, for a fixed modulus and , a complete characterization of those , for which there exists a function on which is semiconvex on with modulus and . Namely, has this property if and only if can be covered by countably many Lipschitz surfaces of codimension which are described by functions, which are differences of two Lipschitz semiconvex functions with modulus .
