An increasing function with infinitely changing convexity
Introductory exposition (textbooks, tutorial papers, etc.) pertaining to real functions (26-01) Rate of growth of functions, orders of infinity, slowly varying functions (26A12) Convexity of real functions in one variable, generalizations (26A51) Convexity of real functions of several variables, generalizations (26B25)
The aim of the paper is to construct an example of the strictly increasing function changing its convexity infinitely many time in a neighborhood of a point.NEWLINENEWLINESuch example has the form NEWLINE\[NEWLINE u(t) = \int\limits_{0}^{t} (t - s) e^{-\alpha/s} [\sin 1/s + C \sin^2 1/s] ds, \;\;\; t\in [0, 1], \; \alpha, C > 0. \eqno{(1)} NEWLINE\]NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThis example is generalized for the case of two variables, i.e., the authors construct a function strictly increasing along each ray from the origin and changing its curvature infinitely many times: NEWLINE\[NEWLINE v: {\mathbb D} \rightarrow {\mathbb R}, NEWLINE\]NEWLINE \(v(x,y) = u(x^2 + y^2)\), where \(u\) is taken from (1).NEWLINENEWLINEBoth examples are useful in understanding the reversed Hopf lemma.
