Hypograph of a function. In mathematics, the hypograph or subgraph of a function: is the set of points lying on or below its graph. A related definition is that of such a function's epigraph, which is the set of points on or above the function's graph.
Epigraph of a function A function (in black) is convex if and only if the region above its graph (in green) is a convex set.This region is the function's epigraph. In mathematics, the epigraph or supergraph [1] of a function: [,] valued in the extended real numbers [,] = {} is the set = {(,) : ()} consisting of all points in the Cartesian product lying on or above the function's graph. [2]
Equivalently, if the epigraph defined by = {(,) + |, ()} is closed, then the function is closed. This definition is valid for any function, but most used for convex functions . A proper convex function is closed if and only if it is lower semi-continuous .
What is typically used is y vs. x, such that x is horizontal and y is vertical. However, when specifically talking about plotting a function vs. its input, it is more clear and intuitive to plot f(x) vs. x (or f(y) vs. y or whatever), since the variables x and y are just placeholders.

In mathematical analysis, semicontinuity (or semi-continuity) is a property of extended real-valued functions that is weaker than continuity.An extended real-valued function is upper (respectively, lower) semicontinuous at a point if, roughly speaking, the function values for arguments near are not much higher (respectively, lower) than ().
Equivalently, a concave function is any function for which the hypograph is convex. The class of concave functions is in a sense the opposite of the class of convex functions. A concave function is also synonymously called concave downwards, concave down, convex upwards, convex cap, or upper convex.
From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.
