Some properties and applications of (v, w)-convex functions
摘要
This paper builds on the work of Bessem Samet by introducing new results in the context of (v, w)-convex functions, both in general and for differentiable cases. The study extends the definition of (v, w)-convex functions from Euclidean space to Riemannian manifolds, leading to the concept of geodesic (v, w)-convex functions. Several theorems are proven, including results that show the preservation of (v, w)-convexity under summation and positive scalar multiplication of functions. Additionally, the paper presents novel findings on (v, w)-convexity in Riemannian manifolds, providing a theoretical foundation for future exploration. The developed theorems are also applied to nonlinear programming, offering a method to find optimal solutions for differentiable functions within this framework. This research contributes to both the theory of convexity and its applications in optimization problems on Riemannian manifolds.
