A function <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$${f : \Omega \to \mathbb{R}}$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> , where Ω is a convex subset of the linear space X, is said to be d.c. (difference of convex) if f = g − h with <InlineEquation ID="IEq2"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$${g, h : \Omega \to \mathbb{R}}$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> convex functions. While d.c. functions find various applications, especially in optimization, the...</equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation>
