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) + +.
It is also possible to characterize concavity or convexity of functions in terms of the convexity of particular sets. Given the graph of a function, the hypograph of f,

May 22, 2024 · Concavity provides valuable insights into how a function curves, distinguishing between concave upward and concave downward shapes, while points of inflection mark locations where the curvature changes sign.
Jul 30, 2019 · Here is a github repo on finding the concave hull for a set of points using python. My recommendation to you is the following. Create a set of points using the endpoints of each line. Then use the linked to code to generate a concave hull for these points, with some guess for the value of alpha.

Advanced Functions. In this chapter, we go beyond the basics of using functions. I’ll assume you can define and work with functions taking default arguments: > def foo(a, b, x=3, y=2): ... return (a+b)/(x+y) ... > foo(5, 0) 1.0. > foo (10, 2, y=3) 2.0.

Definition 1 A function f defined on the convex set C ⊂ Rn is called con-cave if for every x1, x2 ∈ C and 0 ≤ t ≤ 1, we have. f(tx1 + (1 − t)x2) ≥ tf(x1) + (1 − t)f(x2). Definition 2 A function f defined on the convex set C ⊂ Rn is called strictly concave if for every x1 6= x2,and 0 < t < 1, we have. f(tx1 + (1 − t)x2) > tf(x1) + (1 − t)f(x2).
