Abstract:

By observing a convex property of discrete differences, one-sided $k$-discrete, $k$-discrete Gâteaux and $k$-discrete Fréchet differentials are introduced. It is proved that a locally bounded $n$-convex function has $k$-discrete Fréchet differentials for $1 \leqslant k \leqslant n - 2$ and one-sided $(n - 1)$-discrete differentials at every point of its domain. Various properties of discrete differentials of an $n$-convex function are studied. As an application of these results the author proves that an $n$-convex function has a strong $(n - 2)$-Taylor series expansion and an $(n - 1)$th Fréchet differential provided it has a strong $n$-Taylor series expansion about the point.
