The concept of convexity and its various generalizations is important for quantitative and qualitative studies in operations research or applied mathematics. Recently, E-convex sets and functions were introduced with important implications across numerous branches of mathematics. By relaxing the definition of convex sets and functions, a new concept of semi-EE-convex functions was introduced, and its properties are discussed. It has been demonstrated that if a function f:M→Rf:M→R is semi-EE-convex on an EE-convex set M⊂RnM⊂Rn then, f(E(x))≤f(x)f(E(x))≤f(x) for each x∈Mx∈M. This article discusses the inverse of this proposition and presents some results for convex functions.
Duca and Lupsa [6] show that the results obtained in Youness [2] concerning the characterization of an E-convex function f in terms of its E-epigraph are incorrect. In this paper we introduce the correct form of this Theorem wich will be used in our study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
