Hi PF!
Do you know what a strictly convex function is? I understand this notion in the concept of norms, where in the plane I've sketched the ##L_1,L_2,L_\infty## norms, where clearly ##L_1,L_\infty## are not strictly convex and ##L_2## is. Intuitively it would make sense that any ##L_1,L_\infty## function is not strictly convex (similar to it's norm) and ##L_2## functions are, but how would you even show this?
