     • Concavity refers to the direction of the curvature of a function's graph. It indicates whether the graph is bending upwards (concave up) or downwards (concave down) and is closely related to the second derivative of the function.

   What is a concave function?

   • Holds the property f (tx + (1− t) y) ≥ tf (x) + (1− t) f (y) for 0 ≤ t ≤1. Ways to Remember: The shape of a concave function resembles the entrance to a cave or a hill. Examples: Logarithmic functions, negative exponential functions. Slope decreases as you move along the function.

   Is f g a concave function?

   • where the first inequality holds since f is concave and g increasing, and the second inequility follows from g being concave. We have thus proved that Thus, (f ◦ g) is a concave function. (with a similar proof for convexity.) Remark 10. An increasing transformation of a concave (convex) function is not necessarily concave (convex).

   What is a concave object?

   • Definition: An object or a function is concave if it curves inward. In simple terms, it’s hollow or bowed in, much like a cave. A bowl. A satellite dish. A spoon’s interior. Skateboard ramps. A pie with a slice taken out of it. Definition: An object or function is convex if it curves outward, or in other words, bulges out. A speed bump.

   How do you prove a concave function?

   • Any afine function is both concave and convex. Proof. The proof follows from Theorem 6 above and from the fact that f(x) xi, f(x) −xi, and f(x) Theorem 9. Let f : S ⊂ Rn → R be a concave (convex) function, and let g : R → R be concave (convex) and increasing. Then (f ◦ g) : S ⊂ Rn → R is a concave (convex) function. Proof.

   How do you know if a function is concave or convex?

   • A function is concave (convex) if the graph of the function is always below (above) the graph of the tangent to the function. Theorem 29. Let Let f : S ⊂ Rn → R be a C2 function. Then, f is strictly convex if the Hessian matrix D2 f(x) is positive definite for all x ∈ S . with similar implications for convexity and positive definiteness.

A function f : S ⊂ Rn → R defined on a convex set S is concave if for any two points x1 x2 ∈ , S and for any λ ∈ [0, 1] we have: λx1 (1 − λ) x2 ≥ λf(x1) (1 − λ)f(x2) + +. is called strictly concave if for any two points x1 , x2 ∈ S and for any λ ∈ (0, 1) we have: λx1 (1 − λ) x2 > λf(x1) (1 − λ)f(x2) + +.

   Feb 27, 2024 · In a concave lens, parallel rays of light are made to diverge (spread out) from a point. This lens is sometimes referred to as a diverging lens. The principal focus is now the point from which the rays appear to diverge from. Parallel rays from a concave lens appear to come from the principal focus.
