Convex function: Properties, Overview & Strongly convex functions

In mathematics, a real-valued function is called convex if the line segment between any two distinct points on the graph of the function lies above or on the graph of the function between the two points. Equivalently, a function is convex if its epigraph (the set of points on or above the graph of the function) is a convex set. In simple terms, a convex…
