Abstract

Convex or concave sequences of nn positive terms, viewed as vectors in nn-space, constitute convex cones with 2n22n-2 and nn extreme rays, respectively. Explicit description is given of vectors spanning these extreme rays, as well as of non-singular linear transformations between the positive orthant and the simplicial cones formed by the positive concave vectors. The simplicial cones of monotone convex and concave vectors can be described similarly.
