konkávítás

Konkávítás is a term used in certain fields, particularly in optimization and computer graphics, to describe a process of making something "concave" or "curved inwards." In mathematical optimization, konkávítás can refer to the transformation of an objective function or a set of constraints to make them concave. This is often a desirable step because concave functions have properties that simplify the process of finding their maximum values, similar to how convex functions simplify finding minimum values. Algorithms designed for convex optimization can sometimes be adapted to find the global maximum of a concave function.

In computer graphics and computational geometry, konkávítás might be related to operations that deform a shape into a concave form. This could involve algorithms for creating depressions, indentations, or inward-facing curves within a geometric model. For instance, a concave hull algorithm aims to find the smallest concave polygon that encloses a set of points, which is distinct from a convex hull that would enclose the points with a shape bulging outwards. The specific application and definition of konkávítás can vary, but the core idea revolves around introducing or enhancing an inward curvature.
