A necessary and sufficient condition for Demyanov difference and Minkowski difference of compact convex subsets in $R^2$ being equal is given in this paper. Several examples are computed by Matlab to test our result. The necessary and sufficient condition makes us to compute Clarke subdifferential by quasidifferential for a special of Lipschitz functions.

The notion of difference for two convex compact sets in Rⁿ, proposed by Rubinov et al, is generalized to R/sub mxn/. A formula of the difference for the two sets, which are convex hulls of a finite number of points, is developed. In the light of this difference, the relation between Clarke generalized Jacobian and quasidifferential, in the sense of Demyanov and Rubinov, for a nonsnooth function, is established. Based on the relation, the method of estimating Clarke generalized Jacobian via quasidifferential for a certain class of function, is presented.
