Abstract

We introduce the notion of reciprocally strongly convex functions and we present some examples and properties of them. We also prove that two real functions f and g, defined on a real interval [a, b], satisfy

for all x, y ∈ [a, b] and t ∈ [0, 1] iff there exists a reciprocally strongly convex function h: [a, b] → R such that f (x) ≤ h(x) ≤ g(x) for all x ∈ [a, b].

Finally, we obtain an approximate convexity result for reciprocally strongly convex functions; namely we prove a stability result of Hyers-Ulam type for this class of functions.

Keywords: Convex functions; Sandwich theorem; Hyers-Ulam

Resumen

En este artículo introducimos la noción de funciones recíproca-fuertemente convexas y presentamos algunos ejemplos y propiedades. Además se demuestran que dos funciones f y g, definidas en el intervalo real [a, b] satisfacen la desigualdad

para todo x, y ∈ [a, b] y t ∈ [0, 1] si, y sólo si, existe una función recíproca-fuertemente convexa h : [a, b] → R tal que f (x) ≤ h(x) ≤ g (x) para todo x ∈ [a, b].

Finalmente, se obtiene un resultado de aproximación convexa para esta clase de funciones.
