Review text

A function \(f:(a,b)\to {\mathbb R}\) is said to be a.e. convex if it coincides with a convex function a.e.. The authors characterize such functions in terms of Sobolev spaces and weak derivatives and give conditions for a point \(x_{0}\in (a,b)\) to be an a.e. minimizer of \(f\) (i.e., for the inequality \(f(x)\geq f(x_{0})\) to hold a.e. on a neighborhood of \(x_{0}\)).
