We are interested about pairs (f,g)(f,g) of C2C^2-smooth functions f,g:RnRf,g:\mathbb{R}^n\longrightarrow\mathbb{R} with bounded Hess+{\rm Hess}^+ complements such that their product preserves this property as well. Recall that Hess+(f){\rm Hess}^+(f) stands for the set of all points pRnp\in\mathbb{R}^n such that the Hessian matrix Hp(f)H_p(f) of the C2C^2-smooth function f ⁣:RnRf\colon \mathbb{R}^n\longrightarrow\mathbb{R} is positive definite. In this paper we consider two pairs of real-valued functions with empty Hess+{\rm Hess}^+ complements whose products happen to have bounded Hess+{\rm Hess}^+ complements.
