Concave function second derivative is negative then it is strictly concave, but the opposite is not true, as shown by . 4. If is concave and differentiable, then it is bounded above by its first-order Taylor approximation: 5. A continuous function on is concave if and only if for any and in 6. If a function is concave, and , then is subadditive on formula_21. Proof: 1. A function is concave over a convex set if and only if the function is a convex function over the set. 2. The sum of two concave functions is itself concave and so is the
Anticrepuscular rays Anticrepuscular rays Anticrepuscular rays, or antisolar rays, are atmospheric optical phenomena similar to crepuscular rays, but appear opposite of the Sun in the sky. Anticrepuscular rays are nearly parallel, but appear to converge toward the antisolar point due to linear perspective. Anticrepuscular rays are most frequently visible around sunrise or sunset. Appearing to radiate from the Sun, crepuscular rays usually look much brighter than anticrepuscular rays. This is because the atmospheric light scattering making the crepuscular rays visible occurs at low angles to the horizon (see Mie theory). Although anticrepuscular rays appear to converge toward the antisolar point, the convergence
