This paper deals with the interpolation of given real boundary values into a bounded domain in Euclidean n-space, under a prescribed gradient bound. It is well known that there exist an upper solution (an inf-convolution) and a lower solution (a sup-convolution) to this problem, provided that a certain compatibility condition is satisfied. If the upper and lower solutions coincide somewhere in the domain, then several interesting consequences follow. They are considered here. Basically, the upper and lower solutions must be regular wherever they coincide.
