Convex function on R^n

Builds on Function of several variables

Summary

Take a real-valued function of several real variables on a convex set. The function is convex when its graph lies on or below each chord between two points of the graph. Convex functions are important in optimisation because each local minimum of a convex function is a global minimum.
