Convex function on R^n

Summary

Take a real-valued function of several real variables on a convex set. The function is convex when its graph lies on or below each chord between two points of the graph. Convex functions are important in optimisation because each local minimum of a convex function is a global minimum.

What this node needs for W1
  • an inventory row: the row of the inventory that the node accounts for (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.
