On Some Characterizations of General s-Convex Functions

Abstract: It is established that general s-convex functions are a new class of generalized convex functions. In a similar vein, a new class of general s-convex sets is introduced, which are generalizations of s-convex sets. Additionally, certain fundamental characteristics of general s-convex functions are discussed for both general cases and differentiable situations. Aside from that, the general s-convexity is used to define and demonstrate the sufficient criteria for optimality for both unconstrained and inequality-constrained programming.
