Exercise 11, § 4
Functions of a Real Variable, I, 47
Bourbaki marks this one as harder than the rest.
Let be a continuous function on an open interval , having a finite right derivative at every point of . If for every and every such that the point lies above the right semi-tangent to the graph of at the point , show that is convex on (using the mean value theorem show that
Give an example of a function which is not convex, has a finite right derivative everywhere, and such that for every there exists a number depending on such that lies above the right semi-tangent at the point for all such that . This last condition is nevertheless sufficient for to be convex, if one supposes further that is differentiable on (use I, p. 12, corollary).
