The second-derivative characterization of h-convexity
Let and be the domains appearing below, let be a non-negative function such that
and let be twice differentiable. A function is -convex if it satisfies the corresponding -convexity inequality.
Second-derivative characterization. The function is -convex if and only if
This conjecture proposes a necessary and sufficient second-derivative criterion for -convexity, generalizing the familiar characterization of ordinary convexity by nonnegative second derivative. The supplied text does not establish the claim or indicate whether it has been resolved.
