   Definition 1. 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) + +.

   This notion is called the concavity of the function. Figure 4.34(a) shows a function f with a graph that curves upward. As x increases, the slope of the tangent line increases. Thus, since the derivative increases as x increases, f′ is an increasing function. We say this function f is concave up.

   The graph of a function is concave up on an interval if is increasing on the interval. The graph of a function is concave down on an interval if is decreasing on the interval. A point of inflection is a point on the graph of where the function changes from concave up to concave down, or vice versa. or is

   Why are concave functions important?

   • The importance of concave (and convex) functions from the optimization point of view lies in some properties of concave functions with regard to their extrema. Let f be a concave function defined on a convex set C ⊂ Rn. Then every local maximum of f at x∗ ∈ C is a global maximum of f over all C.

   Is F a concave function?

   • f(x) ≤ f(x0) + f0(x0)(x − x0). It is strictly concave if and only if the inequality is strict for x 6= x0. Theorem 6 Let f be a differentiable function on the open convex set C ⊂ R. It is concave (strictly concave) if and only if f0 is a nonincreasing (decreasing) function. C. Then f is a concave function if and only if f ”(x) ≤ 0 for every x ∈ C.

   How do we generalize concave functions?

   • We begin generalizing concave functions by recalling from the preceding chap-ter that the upper-level sets of concave functions are convex sets. Concavity of a function is a sufficient condition for this property, but not a necessary one. We define a family of functions by the convexity of their upper-level sets.

   How do you know if a function is concave?

   • To identify concavity, we analyze the sign of the second derivative of the function. If the second derivative is positive, the function is concave upward, and if it is negative, the function is concave downward. Points of inflection are found where the second derivative changes sign, indicating a change in concavity.
