Convexity question for the bounding function of normalized asymptotic translation length

Let MM, F\mathcal{F}, dd, and Ω\Omega be as in the closure theorem: MM is a connected cusped hyperbolic 33-manifold, F\mathcal{F} is a fully-punctured fibered face, and Ω\Omega is a rational dd-dimensional slice with d1d\geq 1. Let g ⁣:int(Ω)R+g\colon \operatorname{int}(\Omega)\to\mathbb{R}_+ be the continuous function whose graph describes the accumulation points of the graph of the normalized asymptotic translation length function μd\mu_d.

Convexity question. Is the function gg convex?

The function gg is the boundary-diverging function controlling the accumulation behavior of μd\mu_d; its convexity is not clear from the explicit formula. This is posed as an open question.
