K-convex function

K-convex functions, first introduced by Scarf, are a special weakening of the concept of convex function which is crucial in the proof of the optimality of the policy in inventory control theory. The policy is characterized by two numbers s and S, , such that when the inventory level falls below level s, an order is issued for a quantity that brings the inventory up to level S, and nothing is ordered otherwise. Gallego and Sethi have generalized the concept of K-convexity to higher dimensional Euclidean spaces. (Wikipedia).

What are bounded functions and how do you determine the boundness

👉 Learn about the characteristics of a function. Given a function, we can determine the characteristics of the function's graph. We can determine the end behavior of the graph of the function (rises or falls left and rises or falls right). We can determine the number of zeros of the functi

Kazuo Murota: Extensions and Ramifications of Discrete Convexity Concepts

Submodular functions are widely recognized as a discrete analogue of convex functions. This convexity view of submodularity was established in the early 1980's by the fundamental works of A. Frank, S. Fujishige and L. Lovasz. Discrete convex analysis extends this view to broader classes of
