Is convex optimisation in P?

Consider a convex optimisation problem in the form $$\begin{align} f_0(x_1, \ldots, x_n) &\to \min \\ f_i(x_1, \ldots, x_n) & \leq 0, \quad i = 1, \ldots, m \end{align}$$ where $f_0, f_1, \...

Hessian of non differentiable convex function

The motivation of the question is the following: Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Consider the following objective(convex and differentiable) function $f:\mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow [0,\...
