Jointly strictly convex vs. marginally strictly convex

97 Views Asked by At

Suppose $f(x,y)$ is (jointly) convex in $(x,y)$ and strictly convex in each argument separately. Is it necessarily true that $f$ is jointly strictly convex? Here, $x,y$ live in some real vector spaces.

No. Consider $$ f(x,y) = (x-y)^2. $$
