A journey into convexity

Abstract

Convexity is an important concept in optimization of functionals, and therefore in economics, in operation research, in physics, etc.. In this thesis we study this concept and some of the topics where convexity is applied. We study the geometry of convex sets, applications and properties of convex functions, and related inequalities. We also study integrability theorems of Askey, Leindler, Heywood, and Askey and Karlin and generalize some of the theorems of Askey and Karlin using Jensen's inequality. Our result shows inclusion between Euler and Borel sequence spaces.
