$X$-convexity and Applications of Quasi-$X$-Convex Functions (2208.06589v1)

Abstract: 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 quasi-$X$-convex functions. Moreover, in this paper, we give a detailed study of the fundamental properties of these functions with various examples, supporting the concepts. Finally, the study of optimization problems employs quasi-$X$-convex, semistrictly quasi-$X$-convex, and strictly quasi-$X$-convex functions.
