Abstract
In a recent article [{\it Functions on a convex set which are both -semiconvex and -semiconcave I}, J. Convex Analysis 29 (2022) 837--856] we proved with L.\,Zaj{\'\i\v c}ek that if is an unbounded open convex set that does not contain a translation of a convex cone with non-empty interior, then there exist and a concave modulus such that , is both semiconvex and semiconcave with modulus and . Here we improve the previous result as follows: If is as above and for some , then there exists that is both semiconvex and semiconcave with modulus and . This result has immediate consequences concerning a first-order quantitative converse Taylor theorem and the problem whether whenever is smooth in a corresponding sense on all lines.
