ConcaveIn mathematics, a function <math>f(x)</math> is said to be concave on an interval <math>[a,b]</math> if, for all x,y in <math>[a,b]</math>.
Additionally, <math>f(x)</math> is strictly concave if
Equivalently, <math>f(x)</math> is concave on <math>[a,b]</math> iff the function <math>-f(x)</math> is convex on every subinterval[?] of <math>[a,b]</math>. If <math>f(x)</math> is differentiable, then <math>f(x)</math> is concave iff <math>f'(x)</math> is monotone decreasing. If <math>f(x)</math> is twice-differentiable, then <math>f(x)</math> is concave iff <math>f(x)</math> is negative. See also: convex function.
