On a property of convex functions

(Redirected from On a property of convex functions)
[For the entire collection see Zbl 0746.00079.] The author gives a simple proof of the following result: If \(f\) is a continuous convex function on an interval \(I\subset]0,+\infty[\), then the function \(f(x)/x\) is either monotone on \(I\) or, for some \(c\in I\), monotone decreasing on \(\{x\in I:x\leq c\}\) and monotone increasing on \(\{x\in I:x\geq c\}\).
