Decomposition of higher-order Wright-convex functions (Q837574): Difference between revisions

\textit{C. T. Ng} [General inequalities 5, 5th Int. Conf., Oberwolfach/FRG 1986, ISNM 80, 433--438 (1987; Zbl 0634.39014)] proved that, a function defined on an open interval is Wright-convex iff it can be written as the sum of a convex function and an additive function. The authors extend this result to the case of \(n\)-Wright convex functions, by proving that, \(f\) is \(n\)-Wright convex iff can be represented as the sum of a continuous \(n\)-convex function and a polynomial function of degree at most \(n\).
