Convex function than convex or strictly convex functions, since they are a smaller class. Like strictly convex functions, strongly convex functions have unique minima on compact sets. A uniformly convex function, with modulus formula_70, is a function that, for all "x", "y" in the domain and , satisfies where formula_70 is a function that is non-negative and vanishes only at 0. This is a generalization of the concept of strongly convex function; by taking formula_73 we recover the definition of strong convexity. Convex function In mathematics, a real-valued function defined on an "n"-dimensional interval is called convex (or convex downward or concave
Refracting telescope principles. The combination of an objective lens 1 and some type of eyepiece 2 is used to gather more light than the human eye is able to collect on its own, focus it 5, and present the viewer with a brighter, clearer, and magnified virtual image 6. The objective in a refracting telescope refracts or bends light. This refraction causes parallel light rays to converge at a focal point; while those not parallel converge upon a focal plane. The telescope converts a bundle of parallel rays to make an angle α, with the optical axis to a second parallel bundle
