Abstract

A real valued function defined on}R\mathbb{R} {\small is called}gg{\small --convex if it satisfies the following \textquotedblleft generalized Jensen's inequality\textquotedblright under a given}gg{\small -expectation, i.e., }h(Eg[X])Eh(\mathbb{E}^{g}[X])\leq \mathbb{E}% ^{g}[h(X)]{\small, for all random variables}XX {\small such that both sides of the inequality are meaningful. In this paper we will give a necessary and sufficient conditions for a }C2C^{2}{\small -function being}% g {\small -convex. We also studied some more general situations. We also studied}gg{\small -concave and}gg{\small -affine functions.
