A convex ground blade is a durable knife grind that curves outward, making it ideal for heavy chopping and slicing. It requires a skilled metalworker and special sharpening skills, but if well cared for, it can serve the owner well. Cleavers and axes are often made with convex ground blades. Cooks should take care to […]
Convex programming is a type of programming that generalizes and unifies other types, boasting efficient algorithms for theoretical and practical applications. It requires expertise in optimization, numerical computation, and convex analysis, and is used in microeconomics, portfolio optimization, device sizing, and data fitting. Convex programming, a subclass of nonlinear programming, is a type of programming […]
Convex and concave are two types of curvatures that never refer to the same type of curve. Convex curves extend outward, while concave curves extend inward. Both types are used in various objects for different purposes, such as soft contact lenses and hollow pottery. Sometimes, a combination of convex and concave angles is used to […]
