چکیده

This paper shows the equivalence between Murota’s L-convex functions and Favati and Tardella’s submodular integrally convex functions: For a submodular integrally convex function g(p1, . . . , pn), the function g̃ defined by g̃(p0, p1, . . . , pn) = g(p1 − p0, . . . , pn − p0) is an L-convex function, and vice versa. This fact implies, in combination with known results for L-convex functions, that submodular integrally convex functions enjoy a discrete separation property and that they are characterized as the Fenchel-Legendre conjugates of M-convex functions on generalized polymatroids.

Notes on L-/M-convex functions and the separation theorems

The concepts of L-convex function and M-convex function have recently been introduced by Murota as generalizations of submodular function and base polyhedron, respectively, and discrete separation theorems are established for L-convex/concave functions and for M-convex/concave functions as generalizations of Frank's discrete separation theorem for submodular/supermodular set functions and Edmon...

Submodular Function Minimization and Maximization in Discrete Convex Analysis

This paper sheds a new light on submodular function minimization and maximization from the viewpoint of discrete convex analysis. L-convex functions and M-concave functions constitute subclasses of submodular functions on an integer interval. Whereas L-convex functions can be minimized efficiently on the basis of submodular (set) function minimization algorithms, M-concave functions are identif...

Scaling and Proximity Properties of Integrally Convex Functions

In discrete convex analysis, the scaling and proximity properties for the class of L-convex functions were established more than a decade ago and have been used to design efficient minimization algorithms. For the larger class of integrally convex functions of n variables, we show here that the scaling property only holds when n ≤ 2, while a proximity theorem can be established for any n, but o...

On Fejér Type Inequalities for (η1,η2)-Convex Functions

In this paper we find a characterization type result for (η1,η2)-convex functions. The Fejér integral inequality related to (η1,η2)-convex functions is obtained as a generalization of Fejér inequality related to the preinvex and η-convex functions. Also some Fejér trapezoid and midpoint type inequalities are given in the case that the absolute value of the derivative of considered function is (...
