Convex function

Summary

A convex function on an interval is a function whose graph lies on or below each of its chords. Convex functions have increasing slopes, and they satisfy Jensen's inequality. The node convex function gives the precise definition.

What this node needs for W2
  • edge instance_of in: at least two examples (0 of 2)
  • edge not_instance_of in: at least one non-example (0 of 1)
  • edge specializes both: the more general notions and the special cases (0 of 1)

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