Is every radiant function the sum of quasiconvex functions?

چکیده
An open question in the study of quasiconvex function is the characterization of the class of functions which are sum of quasiconvex functions. In this paper we restrict attention to quasiconvex radiant functions, i.e. those whose level sets are radiant as well as convex and deal with the claim that a function can be expressed as the sum of quasiconvex radiant functions if and only if it is radiant. Our study is carried out in the framework of Abstract Convex Analysis: the main tool is the description of the supremal generator of the set of radiant functions, i.e. the class of functions whose sup-envelope gives radiant functions, and of the relation between the elements in the supremal generators of radiant and quasiconvex radiant functions.

Hermite-Hadamard-Type Inequalities for Increasing Positively Homogeneous Functions
Recently, Hermite-Hadamard-type inequalities and their applications have attracted considerable interest, as shown in the book [1], for example. These inequalities have been studied for various classes of functions such as convex functions [1], quasiconvex functions [2–4], p-functions [3, 5], Godnova-Levin type functions [5], r-convex functions [6], increasing convex-along-rays functions [7], a...
متن کاملCharacterizing Global Minimizers of the Difference of Two Positive Valued Affine Increasing and Co-radiant Functions
Many optimization problems can be reduced to a problem with an increasing and co-radiant objective function by a suitable transformation of variables. Functions, which are increasing and co-radiant, have found many applications in microeconomic analysis. In this paper, the abstract convexity of positive valued affine increasing and co-radiant (ICR) functions are discussed. Moreover, the ...
متن کاملHermite-Hadamard inequality for geometrically quasiconvex functions on co-ordinates
In this paper we introduce the concept of geometrically quasiconvex functions on the co-ordinates and establish some Hermite-Hadamard type integral inequalities for functions defined on rectangles in the plane. Some inequalities for product of two geometrically quasiconvex functions on the co-ordinates are considered.
متن کاملA New Type of Stable Generalized Convex Functions
S-quasiconvex functions (Phu and An, Optimization, Vol. 38, 1996) are stable with respect to the properties: “every lower level set is convex", “each local minimizer is a global minimizer", and “each stationary point is a global minimizer" (i.e., these properties remain true if a sufficiently small linear disturbance is added to a function of this class). In this paper, we introduce a subclass ...

This study presents an optimization problem for shape design of a 2-D radiant enclosure with transparent medium and gray-diffuse surfaces. The aim of the design problem is to find the optimum geometry of a radiant enclosure from the knowledge of temperature and heat flux over some parts of boundary surface, namely the design surface. The solution of radiative heat transfer is based on the net r...
