Statement flagged by 0 users
Reason: First published version: on a set where a convex function is bounded between two constants, an increment along a convex representation is controlled by the weight times the oscillation.

Statement

Let nn be a natural number with 1n1\le n, let R\mathbb{R} be the set of real numbers with the operations and the order \le of its ordered field structure, let CC be a convex subset of Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}, a real vector space by Euclidean Space Rn\mathbb{R}^n is a Real Vector Space, and let u:CRu:C\to\mathbb{R} be convex on CC.

Let DCD\subseteq C and let m,MRm,M\in\mathbb{R} satisfy

mu(w)andu(w)Mfor every wD.m\le u(w)\qquad\text{and}\qquad u(w)\le M\qquad\text{for every }w\in D.

Let x,y,zDx,y,z\in D and let λR\lambda\in\mathbb{R} satisfy 0λ0\le\lambda, λ1\lambda\le1 and

y=λz+(1λ)x.y=\lambda\,z+(1-\lambda)\,x .

Then

u(y)u(x)λ(Mm).u(y)-u(x)\le\lambda\,(M-m).
