Converse

[edit]

"Conversely, if f is continuous, then it is convex only if the above inequality holds for all x, y, z from I."

This, of course, is not the converse, but just the statement of Popoviciu's inequality. The converse is "if" rather than "only if". But I am not sure whether this converse is true actually (the proof in Niculescu/Persson does not convince me). Darij (talk) 00:49, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oops. Indeed; I've fixed it now. Thanks. As for the proof, I haven't checked it... where's the problem, though? Shreevatsa (talk) 05:10, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's the "verbatim" part. I have no clue how it is supposed to follow "verbatim the argument of Theorem 1.1.4 above". -- Darij (talk) 17:32, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
