Multiplicative properties of real functions with applications to classical functions

TLDR
In this paper, the characterisation of geometrically convex and concave functions defined on (0,A] or (A, ∞) with multiplicative conditions was studied and unified proofs of some known and new inequalities were obtained.
Abstract
From the characterisation of geometrically convex and geometrically concave functions defined on (0,A] or \( [A,\infty) \) with \( A > 0 \), by means of their multiplicative conditions, we obtain unified proofs of some known and new inequalities. Functions of class C2 and strictly increasing on (a,b) fulfil some kind of supermultiplicativity and superadditivity. We have obtained a new constant determining the intervals of sub- and supermultiplicativity for the log function.

Turning Up the Heat: The Discouraging Effect of Competition in Contests

TL;DR: The authors study contests in which contestants are homogeneous and have convex effort costs and find that increasing contest competitiveness, by making prizes more unequal, scaling up the competition, or adding new contestants, always discourages effort.

On generalized strongly modified h-convex functions

TL;DR: In this article, a new extended class of convex functions, generalized strongly modified h-convex functions (H-Convex), was introduced, which has properties similar to those of the original convex function.
