Assume that two positive functions are strictly increasing and strictly concave-up, i.e. first and second derivatives are positive. Both functions start from the point $(0,0)$. Then, is it possible for them to cut each other twice or more? If so, can someone please bring a counterexample that shows this?

Consider $f, g: (0, \infty)\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ defined by $f(x) = x^{2}+\sin(x)$ and $g(x) = x^{2}$. They have infinitely many points of intersection.
