Sep 28, 2018 at 14:59 comment added Robert Israel Suppose e.g. $p = (1,0)$ and $q = (0,1)$ are feasible. Then $\|(p+q)/2\| = 1/2$ while $\|p\| = \|q\| = 1$.
Sep 28, 2018 at 13:10 comment added Michael Fan Zhang sorry that i forgot to add $x \geq 0$ and i updated my question.
Sep 28, 2018 at 7:39 comment added Robert Israel Certainly not near $0$. Or on any domain that contains a line segment whose midpoint is closer to $0$ than its endpoints.
Sep 28, 2018 at 7:22 comment added Michael Fan Zhang $-\log(x)$ is convex and $\|x\|_\infty$ is convex, how about the composite of them. If not, i am thinking of approximating it using its convex envelope. Is there a function serving as a lower convex approximation of it?
Sep 28, 2018 at 7:20 comment added Robert Israel No, it is not. $-\|x\|_\infty$ is concave.
Sep 28, 2018 at 6:44 comment added Michael Fan Zhang is -$log(\|x\|_\infty)$ convex?
