Closed Convex Function
In mathematics, a convex function is called closed if its epigraph is a closed set. A proper convex function is closed if and only if it is lower semi-continuous. For a convex function which is not proper there is disagreement as to the definition of the closure of the function.

Famous quotes containing the words closed and/or function:
“Night hath closed all in her cloak,
Twinkling stars love-thoughts provoke,
Danger hence good care doth keep,
Jealousy itself doth sleep;”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
“As a medium of exchange,... worrying regulates intimacy, and it is often an appropriate response to ordinary demands that begin to feel excessive. But from a modernized Freudian view, worrying—as a reflex response to demand—never puts the self or the objects of its interest into question, and that is precisely its function in psychic life. It domesticates self-doubt.”
—Adam Phillips, British child psychoanalyst. “Worrying and Its Discontents,” in On Kissing, Tickling, and Being Bored, p. 58, Harvard University Press (1993)
