On properties of preinvex functions. (English) Zbl 1016.90056
Summary: We consider in this paper the class of preinvex functions introduced by {\it T. Weir} and {\it B. Mond} [ibid. 136, 29-38 (1988; Zbl 0663.90087)]; {\it T. Weir} and {\it V. Jeyakumar} [Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 38, 177-189 (1988; Zbl 0639.90082)]. Under semi-continuity conditions, a determination of the satisfaction of preinvexity for a function can be achieved via an intermediate-point preinvexity check. A characterization of a preinvex function in terms of its relationship with an intermediate-point preinvexity and prequasi-invexity is provided.
