Hello all,
I am reading a paper and there is one bit in the paper that I am having a bit of trouble understanding.
Say V(a) is a convex function and then the paper has the following line:
[V(-2pi + a] + V(2pi + a]] >= 2V(a)
I am sure this relationship is simple and falls out somehow from the definition of convex functions but I am unable to convince myself of it.
I would be very grateful if someone can help me with figuring out why this relationship holds.
Many thanks,
Luca
