Dec 2, 2017 at 17:03 comment added H_R I see. So instead of gluing each piece together at a point, you would connect them using a tiny piece whose second derivative matches on either side.
Dec 2, 2017 at 2:24 comment added Christian Remling @H_R: That's just because it was easy to describe this way, we can modify the function slightly near the gluing points to obtain a smooth counterexample.
Dec 2, 2017 at 0:01 comment added H_R This is a great counterexample, thanks. However, your function is not twice differentiable where the pieces are glued together. I wonder if the statement I was hoping for is true if we insist the inequality holds at every point (in particular, u is twice differentiable at every point).
