Convex analysis is a subfield of mathematical optimization, the word meaning of “optimal” is “best” and optimization techniques strive to bring out the best solution. Convex analysis studies the properties of convex functions and convex sets and aims to minimize convex functions over convex sets. It has application in various fields such as automatic control systems, signal processing, deep learning, data analysis and model building, finance, statistics, economics, and so on.
