Generalized approximate midconvexity

Let X be a normed space and V ⊂ X a convex set with nonempty interior. Let α : [0, ∞) → [0, ∞) be a given nondecreasing function. A function ƒ : V → R is α(⋅)-midconvex if ƒ [wzór]. In this paper we study α(⋅)-midconvex functions. Using a version of Bernstein-Doetsch theorem we prove that if ƒ is α(⋅)-midconvex and locally bounded from above at every point then ƒ(rx + (1 - r)y) ≤ rƒ(x) + (1 - r)ƒ(y) + Pα(r, ¦¦x - y¦¦) for x,y ∈ V and r ∈ [0,1], where Pα : [0,1] x [0,∞) → [0,∞) is a specific function dependent on α. We obtain three different estimations of Pα. This enables us to generalize some results concerning paraconvex and semiconcave functions.
