# Is there a name for functions f(x,y) that are only convex in x (and continuous in y). [closed]

This is just a notation question. If I cannot find a preexisting name, I would try one-sided convex, or something of the sort.

I personally would write "convex in x". –  arsmath Apr 12 '14 at 18:28
and "and continuous in $y$". –  UwF Apr 12 '14 at 18:42

I have not heard the name of such the function (I deal with convex functions)

A function which is continuous wrt. x and wrt. y is called separately convex. Maybe something in this direction.

A function continuous wrt. x and measureble wrt. y is called Caratheodory function. This is another hint.
