We introduce and study a new class of generalized convex functions termed star quasiconvex functions. This class includes convex, star-convex, quasiconvex, quasar-convex, and positively homogeneous functions of any degree $p>0$ as special…

It is established that general s-convex functions are a new class of generalized convex functions. In a similar vein, a new class of general s-convex sets is introduced, which are generalizations of s-convex sets. Additionally, certain…

A class of real functions, which is the generalization of a family of convex functions, is introduced; in this connection, we have defined $X$-convex, strictly $X$-convex, quasi-$X$-convex, strictly quasi-$X$-convex, and semi-strictly…

The electron spectrum in the normal phase of cuprates is analyzed in terms of the boson-fermion model. It is argued that the existence of the uncondensed pairs and the quasi-two-dimensional nature of the crystal structure are responsible…

We introduce and investigate a new generalized convexity notion for functions called prox-convexity. The proximity operator of such a function is single-valued and firmly nonexpansive. We provide examples of (strongly) quasiconvex, weakly…

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 on vector spaces. Some examples and…
