Test for convexity in one variable in a multivariate function

87 Views Asked by At

I know that to test convexity of a multivariate function $f(x, y)$, you have to check the Hessian. However, how can you check convexity in one variable (say x)? Is it enough to check $\frac{\partial f^2(x,y)}{\partial x^2}\geq0?$
