    Inspired by a series of recent publications where the representability of different classes of real functions of two variables as differences of two convex functions, the author provides a necessary and sufficient condition for an arbitrary Lipschitz function of two variables to be written as the difference of two convex functions. The proof of the main statement is based on an algorithm of such a representation which yields a uniformly convergent sequence of convex functions. A geometric interpretation of these conditions is provided, too.
