The problem of minimizing <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$${\tilde f=f+p}$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> over some convex subset of a Euclidean space is investigated, where f(x) = x <Superscript> T </Superscript> Ax + b <Superscript> T </Superscript> x is strictly convex and |p| is only assumed to be bounded by some positive number s. It is shown that the function <InlineEquation ID="IEq2"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$${\tilde f}$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> is strictly outer...</equationsource></inlineequation></superscript></superscript></equationsource></inlineequation>

A real-valued function f defined on a convex subset D of some normed linear space is said to be inner γ-convex w.r.t. some fixed roughness degree γ    0 if there is a <InlineEquation ID="IEq3"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$\nu \in]0, 1]$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> such that <InlineEquation ID="IEq4"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$${\rm sup}_{\lambda\in[2,1+1/\nu]} \left(f((1 - \lambda)x_0 + \lambda x_1) - (1 - \lambda) f...</equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation>
