Does concavity put restrictions on whether the 2nd derivative is nonincreasing/nondecreasing.

In other words, can we have something like a concave function where the second derivative is increasing over some range and then decreasing over another range?


Edit: What if the concave function is strictly increasing? (or decreasing?)

Yes, $f(x)=-e^{x^{2}}$ is such a function.
