Higher-Order Non-Newtonian Derivatives
Abstract
In this chapter, we introduce the higher-order α -derivatives of α -functions and provide an analogue of the classical Taylor formula. Necessary and sufficient conditions for α -monotonicity and α -extrema of α -functions are proved. The concepts of α -concavity and α -convexity of α -functions are introduced, and necessary and sufficient conditions for their α -convexity and α -concavity are developed.
