It means that any line drawn from 2 points on the shape does not go out of the shape. This means this shape must be solid (filled in) and every interior angle must be equal or less than 180 degrees.
If you mean the medical term for an increase in convexity of the spine, it's lordosis, and increase in the curve of the back. Hope that helps
Investors have two main options for convexity: positive convexity and negative convexity. Positive convexity means that the bond's price increases more than proportionally to a decrease in interest rates, providing potential gains. Negative convexity means the bond's price decreases more than proportionally to an increase in interest rates, leading to potential losses.
Long convexity in bonds refers to the relationship between bond prices and changes in interest rates. In a changing interest rate environment, bonds with long convexity are more sensitive to interest rate movements compared to bonds with short convexity. This means that when interest rates rise, the price of bonds with long convexity will decrease more than bonds with short convexity, and vice versa.
Convexity.
when the degree of convergence of a convex lens placed in air increases, we say its convexity has increased. as the power of a lens is the measure of degree of its convergence or divergence, we can increase the convexity of a lens increasing its powerthis is further achieved by decreasing its focal length.as focal length is inversly proportional to the refractive index of lens we have to decrease in order to increase its convexity.
decreased
According to Euclid, No. But there are other perceptions of reality that can supply you with any weirdness you desire. Spherical geometry for examples has all lines as circles and therefore convexity.
Changes in interest rates have an inverse relationship with bond prices. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall, and vice versa. Convexity refers to the curvature of the relationship between bond prices and interest rates. Bonds with higher convexity are less affected by interest rate changes compared to bonds with lower convexity.
convexity
A slight convexity refers to a shape or surface that curves slightly outward or bulges gently. It is used to describe an object or structure that is not completely flat but has a subtle rounded appearance.
The head of the humerus is laterally and medially convex. The medial convexity fits into the glenoid fossa, and the lateral convexity, the lesser tuberosity, provides a site for muscle attachment.
if two bonds offer the same duration and yield, then an investor should look at their levels of convexity. if one bond has greater convexity, it is less affected by interest rate changes. also, bonds with higher convexity will have higher price than bonds with lower convexity regardless whether interest rates rise or fall. Ergo, investors will have to pay more with greater convexity due to the bond's lesser sensitivity to interest rate changes.
