Let $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a differentiable, strictly convex function. Let $I\subset \mathbb{R}$ be a closed, bounded interval such that $f'(x) \neq 0$ on $I$.
Is $f$ strongly convex on $I$?
Note: If $f$ is twice differentiable the answer is yes.
For this version, consider $f(x)=(1/4)(x-1)^4+x$ with first derivative $(x-1)^3+1$ positive in an interval $I$ about $1$, but with second derivative $3(x-1)^2$ which has no positive lower bound near $1$, so that $f$ isn't strongly convex on $I$.
