Abstract
In this note we study some properties of pseudo P-convex functions a class of generalized convex functions, recently introduced by Hackman and Passy, defined in product spaces of finite dimension. In particular we introduce some generalized monotone maps studying their relationships with the gradient of differentiable pseudo P-convex functions and a class of continuous P-connected functions that in a differentiable setting belongs to the class of pseudo P-convex functions.
Sommario
In questa nota si studiano alcune proprietà delle funzioni pseudo P-convesse, una classe di funzioni convesse generalizzate, recentemente introdotte da Hackman e Passy, definite nel prodotto cartesiano di spazi euclidei. In particolare si studiano alcune proprietà di monotonia del gradiente di funzioni pseudo P-convesse differenziabili e si evidenziano alcuni collegamenti con le funzioni P-connesse continue.
