1.3 Convex Functions

Proposition: A function f : Rn → R is convex if and only if epif ⊂ Rn+1 is convex. Proof. Assume f is convex. Let (x1,t1), (x2,t2) ∈ epif and λ ∈ [0, 1] ...

Convex function

In probability theory, a convex function applied to the expected value of a random variable is always bounded above by the expected value of the convex function ...

Convexity

2.1 That's great, but how do I prove that a function is convex? 1. If you know calculus, take the second derivative. It is a well-known fact that if the second ...

Convexity Examples 1 Convex Functions

To prove convexity, you need an argument that allows for all possible values of x1, x2, and λ, whereas to disprove it you only need to give one set of values.

How to check if a function is convex

2019年8月16日 — What you gave is the standard definition of a convex function. If f is supposed to be continuous, it is enough to check that.

Prove $f(x,y)= x^2 + y^2$ is convex function

2022年8月2日 — Consider that f(x)=x2 has f″(x)=2>0, so f is a convex function. It is also strongly convex too (and hence strictly convex) with strong convexity ...
