Given a function f(x) = f(x1, x2) = (x2 − x 2 1 )(x2 − 2x 2 1 ), where x ∈ S = [x1, x2] T : x1 ∈ R, x2 < 0 . (a) Is the set S open or closed or both or neither? Is it bounded? Is it convex or concave or neither? (Note: No steps are required.) (b) Determine the gradient vector ∇f(x) and the Hessian matrix ∇2f(x) of f(x) over S. (c) Prove that f(x) is a strictly convex function over the set S.
