concave

...or you could put the concave side on the North.

I would have thought concave meant in the Z dimension.

My definition of "most" concave: pick two points at random in the state.

It is easily the most concave if you don't treat the Chesapeake Bay as part of the state.

For example, it is where a function changes from concave to convex.

I sent out different gravity transitions from each concave vertex to find where you can get to from each state.

In a concave world, you wanted to manage toward the middle: reduce variance, bring up the slackers.

A concave reflective surface will focus any light source, and in particular, the sun.

For a risk-averse person, the second value will be higher, as the utility function is concave with respect to the origin.

It is not difficult to understanding that a generally concave surface facing the sun is very likely to have some sort of significant problem.

He designed the Vdara hotel in Vegas that had a concave facade which melted sunloungers; and he's also responsible for the "Walkie Talkie" building in London which we're discussing here.

Look really hard at nonlinear duality theory -- for a minimization problem, the dual is always maximizing a continuous, concave function!

Traditional, intimidation-based management worked well in a concave world where people were mostly doing low-margin commodity work and one slacker could cancel out 5 good workers, but it fails catastrophically in the convex world.

It would make more sense to me to require that the line joining two points on the state's border does not cross in and out of the original state when determining the number of other states it crosses... This doesn't really capture concave as a geometric concept either but more aligned with the idea that it is a local property.
