The talk of Plurisubharmonic function states that "If is a plurisubharmonic function and further is continuous, then is called a pseudoconvex function." So pseudoconvex is not equivalent to Plurisubharmonic and should not redirect there unless the special case is mentioned in the article. --Xeeron (talk) 10:01, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reads like a textbook

The dense use of mathematical notation (including at least two characters that my browser can't even handle) and jargon make this article more closely resemble a (section of a) mathematics textbook rather than an encyclopaedia article. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 16:22, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've made every effort to state things in words Hrafn, but some symbols are unavoidable as is some jargon. For instance, one certainly needs to be able to say "Euclidean space" without defining that term. I have removed the textbook tag. As for your browser, you clearly have a broken configuration that cannot display unicode symbols properly. Sławomir Biały (talk) 16:26, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This article is likely to be completely incomprehensible to somebody who does not have at least some university-level algebra, and probably would only be fully comprehensible to somebody who has taken at least two or three years of it at that level. I don't really know what purpose an article that assumes that level of knowledge serves. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 16:40, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and according to Miscellaneous Technical (Unicode block), the symbols I'm missing are 'KEYBOARD' (2328) & 'LEFT-POINTING ANGLE BRACKET' (2329). Why these would appear in a mathematical article, or be expected in a standard OS installation or web browser, I don't know. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 16:44, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
