Convex analysis in groups and semigroups: a sampler

Convex analysis in groups and semigroups: a sampler We define convexity canonically in the setting of monoids. We show that many classical results from convex analysis hold for functions defined on such groups and semigroups, rather than only vector spaces. Some examples and counter-examples are also discussed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Mathematical Programming Springer Journals

Abstract

We define convexity canonically in the setting of monoids. We show that many classical results from convex analysis hold for functions defined on such groups and semigroups, rather than only vector spaces. Some examples and counter-examples are also discussed.
