The notion of $n$th order convexity in the sense of Hopf and Popoviciu is defined via the nonnegativity of the $(n+1)$st order divided differences of a given real-valued function. In view of the well-known recursive formula for divided…

We show that a differentiable function on the 2-Wasserstein space is geodesically convex if and only if it is also convex along a larger class of curves which we call `acceleration-free'. In particular, the set of acceleration-free curves…
