Jonathan M. Borwein of the University of Newcastle (NSW, Australia) and Jon D. Vanderwerff of La Sierra University (California, USA) have published a new book “Convex Functions: Constructions, Characterizations and Counterexamples.” CARMA site | CUP site. Synopsis:

Like differentiability, convexity is a natural and powerful property of functions that plays a significant role in many areas of mathematics, both pure and applied. It ties together notions from topology, algebra, geometry and analysis, and is an important tool in optimization, mathematical programming and game theory. This book, which is the product of a collaboration of over 15 years, is unique in
