Reason: Initial publication: semiconvexity with constant lambda, the hypothesis used by Jensen's lemma and by the sup-convolution route to Alexandrov's theorem.

Statement

Let n1n\ge1 be a natural number, let R\mathbb{R} be the real numbers, let CRnC\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n be convex, let f:CRf:C\to\mathbb{R}, and let λR\lambda\in\mathbb{R} satisfy 0λ0\le\lambda. Write \lVert\,\cdot\,\rVert for the Euclidean norm on Rn\mathbb{R}^n.

We say that ff is semiconvex on CC with constant λ\lambda if the function g:CRg:C\to\mathbb{R} given by

g(x)=f(x)+λ2x2g(x)=f(x)+\frac{\lambda}{2}\,\lVert x\rVert^{2}

is convex on CC.
