Jensen's inequality and maximum principle for convex functions

In this file, we prove the finite Jensen inequality and the finite maximum principle for convex functions. The integral versions are to be found in Analysis.Convex.Integral.

Main declarations

Jensen's inequalities:

• ConvexOn.map_centerMass_le, ConvexOn.map_sum_le: Convex Jensen's inequality. The image of a convex combination of points under a convex function is less than the convex combination of the images.
• ConcaveOn.le_map_centerMass, ConcaveOn.le_map_sum: Concave Jensen's inequality.
• StrictConvexOn.map_sum_lt: Convex strict Jensen inequality.
• StrictConcaveOn.lt_map_sum: Concave strict Jensen inequality.

As corollaries, we get:

• StrictConvexOn.map_sum_eq_iff: Equality case of the convex Jensen inequality.
• StrictConcaveOn.map_sum_eq_iff: Equality case of the concave Jensen inequality.
• ConvexOn.exists_ge_of_mem_convexHull: Maximum principle for convex functions.
• ConcaveOn.exists_le_of_mem_convexHull: Minimum principle for concave functions.
