lipschitz property of the derivative of a convex function Let $f\in C^1(\mathbb R^n\to \mathbb R)$ be a convex function. Suppose the equation 
$$f(x+\Delta x)-f(x)-\langle f'(x),\Delta x\rangle\leq A|\Delta x|^2$$
holds for some constant $A>0$, any $x\in \mathbb R^n$ and any sufficiently small $\Delta x\in \mathbb R^n$. Is it true that the derivative $f'(x)$ must be a (locally) lipschitz function?
Only case $n>1$ is interesting (case $n=1$ can be easily verified).
 A: Yes. Fix a point $p\in \mathbb R^n$. We want to shows that $|\nabla f(x)-\nabla f(p)|\le C|x-p|$ for some constant $C$, when $|x-p|$ is small. To simplify notation, replace $f$ with $f(x)-f(p)-\langle x,f'(p)\rangle$ -- this only subtracts a constant from the derivative and therefore does not change its continuity. Denoting this new function by $f$ again, we see that $f(p)=0$ and $\nabla f(p)=0$. Convexity implies $f\ge 0$.
Our assumption now says that $f(x)\le A|x-p|^2$ when $|x-p|\le r$. Take any point $q$ such that $|q-p|\le r/2$ and $\nabla f(q)\ne 0$. Let $v=\frac{\nabla f(q)}{|\nabla f(q)|}$. Define $\phi(t)=f(q+tv)$ for $t\in\mathbb R$. This is simply the restriction of $f$ to this line through $q$ in direction $v$. We have $0\le \phi(t)\le Ar^2$ when $|t|\le r/2$. This and the convexity of $\phi$ imply $|\phi'(0)|\le \frac{Ar^2}{r/2}=2Ar$. On the other hand, $\phi'(0)=|\nabla f(q)|$ by construction of $\phi$. Thus, $|\nabla f(q)|\le 2Ar$ whenever $|q-p|\le r/2$, which is the desired Lipschitz property.
A: Starting from $f(y) - f(x) - \langle \nabla f(x), y-x\rangle \le \frac{A}{2}\lVert y -x \rVert^2$, we plug into $y \gets x + t(\nabla f(y) - \nabla f(x))$, obtaining that $$f\left(x+t(\nabla f(y) - \nabla f(x))\right) - f(x) - t\langle \nabla f(x), \nabla f(y) - \nabla f(x)\rangle \le \frac{A}{2}t^2\lVert \nabla f(y) - \nabla f(x)\rVert^2.$$
Since $f$ is convex, we have $f(x+t(\nabla f(y) - \nabla f(x))) \ge f(y) + \langle \nabla f(y), x-y+t(\nabla f(y) - \nabla f(x))\rangle$, thus
 $$f(y) - f(x) +\langle \nabla f(y), x- y\rangle + t\langle \nabla f(y) - \nabla f(x), \nabla f(y) - \nabla f(x)\rangle \le \frac{A}{2}t^2\lVert \nabla f(y) - \nabla f(x)\rVert^2.$$
After that, adding $f(x) - f(y) - \langle \nabla f(y), x-y\rangle \le \frac{A}{2}\lVert y -x \rVert^2$ to each side, we obtain that
$$t\lVert \nabla f(y) - \nabla f(x)\rVert^2 \le \frac{A}{2}\lVert y -x \rVert^2 + \frac{A}{2}t^2\lVert \nabla f(y) - \nabla f(x)\rVert^2.$$
Finally plug in $t \gets 1/A$ to derive that
$$\lVert \nabla f(y) - \nabla f(x)\rVert \le A \lVert y -x \rVert.$$
