In this paper, we present the very first time the generalized notion of (α, β, γ, δ) - convex (concave) function in mixed kind, which is the generalization of (α, β) - convex (concave) functions in 1^st and 2^nd kind, (s, r) - convex (concave) functions in mixed kind, s - convex (concave) functions in 1^st and 2^nd kind, p - convex (concave) functions, quasi convex(concave) functions and the class of convex (concave) functions. We would like to state the well-known Ostrowski inequality via SVN-Riemann Integrals for (α, β, γ, δ) - convex (concave) function in mixed kind. Moreover we establish some SVN-Ostrowski type inequalities for the class of functions whose derivatives in absolute values at certain powers are (α, β, γ, δ)-convex (concave) functions in mixed kind by using different techniques including Hölder's inequality and power mean inequality. Also, various established results would be captured as special cases with respect to convexity of function.

The notions of spherically concave functions defined on a subregion of the Riemann sphere P are introduced in different ways in Kim & Minda [The hyperbolic metric and spherically convex regions. J. Math. Kyoto Univ. 41 (2001), 297-314] and Kim & Sugawa [Charaterizations of hyperbolically convex regions. J. Math. Anal. Appl. 309 (2005), 37-51]. We show continuity of the concave function defined in the latter and show that the two notions of the concavity are equivalent for a function of class $C^2$. Moreover, we find more characterizations for spherically concave functions.

In this paper, we introduce the concepts of pre convexity neighborhoods, c-concave functions. We study some properties for c-convex functions, and characterize c-convex functions and c-concave functions by using the preconvexity neighborhoods.

In this paper, we characterize a vector-valued convex set function by its epigraph. The concepts of a vector-valued set function and a vector-valued concave set function we given respectively. The definitions of the conjugate functions for a vector-valued convex set function and a vector-valued concave set function are introduced. Then a Fenchel duality theorem in multiobjective programming problem with set functions is derived.

In this paper, we introduce the concepts of the convexity hull and co-convex sets on preconvexity spaces. We study some properties for the co-convexity hull and characterize c-convex functions and c-concave functions by using the co-convexity hull and the convexity hull.

We consider a time-cost tradeoff problem with multiple milestones under a chain precedence graph. In the problem, some penalty occurs unless a milestone is completed before its appointed date. This can be avoided through compressing the processing time of the jobs with additional costs. We describe the compression cost as the convex or the concave function. The objective is to minimize the sum of the total penalty cost and the total compression cost. It has been known that the problems with the concave and the convex cost functions for the compression are NP-hard and polynomially solvable, respectively. Thus, we consider the special cases such that the cost functions or maximal compression amounts of each job are identical. When the cost functions are convex, we show that the problem with the identical costs functions can be solved in strongly polynomial time. When the cost functions are concave, we show that the problem remains NP-hard even if the cost functions are identical, and develop the strongly polynomial approach for the case with the identical maximal compression amounts.

We consider functions that map the open unit disc conformally onto the complement of an unbounded convex set with opening angle ${\pi}{\alpha}$, ${\alpha}{\in}(1,2]$, at infinity. We derive the exact interval for the variability of the real Taylor coefficients of these functions and we prove that the corresponding complex Taylor coefficients of such functions are contained in certain discs lying in the right half plane. In addition, we also determine generalized central functions for the aforesaid class of functions.

The uneven distribution of rolling friction coefficient may lead to great uncertainty in the structural seismic isolation performance. This paper attempts to improve the isolation performance of a spring-damper-rolling isolation system by artificially making the uneven friction distribution to be concave. The rolling friction coefficient gradually increases when the isolator rolls away from the original position during an earthquake. After the spring-damper-rolling isolation system under different ground motions was calculated by a numerical analysis method, the system obtained more regular results than that of random uneven friction distributions. Results shows that the concave friction distribution can not only dissipate the earthquake energy, but also change the structural natural period. These functions improve the seismic isolation efficiency of the spring-damper-rolling isolation system in comparison with the random uneven distribution of rolling friction coefficient, and always lead to a relatively acceptable isolation state even if the actual earthquake significantly differs from the design earthquake.

In this paper, we introduce the concepts of strongly c-convex( strongly c-concave) function, almost c-convex function on preconvex spaces. We investigate the relationships between such concepts and several types of preconvex sets.
