In this paper, a geodesic α-invex subset of a Riemannian manifold is introduced. Geodesic α-invex and α-preinvex functions on a geodesic α-invex set with respect to particular maps are also defined. Further, we study the relationships between geodesic α-invex and α-preinvex functions on Riemannian manifolds. Some results of a non smooth geodesic α-preinvex function are also discussed using proximal subdifferentiation. At the end, mean value inequality and the mean value theorem in α-invexity analysis are extended to Cartan-Hadamard manifolds. Our results extend and generalize the known results in the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
