 * - Thus, \f$f(c h(x) + d)h(x)\f$ is convex if \f$cf\f$ is monotonically increasing \f$(c f' \geq 0)\f$ and either
 *   - \f$f\f$ is convex \f$(f'' \geq 0)\f$ and \f$h\f$ is nonnegative \f$(h \geq 0)\f$ and \f$h\f$ is convex \f$(h'' \geq 0)\f$ and [\f$f\f$ is nonnegative \f$(f \geq 0)\f$ or \f$h\f$ is linear \f$(h''=0)\f$], or

 * - Further, \f$f(c h(x) + d)h(x)\f$ is concave if \f$cf\f$ is monotonically decreasing \f$(c f' \leq 0)\f$ and either
 *   - f is convex \f$(f'' \geq 0)\f$ and \f$h\f$ is nonpositive \f$(h \leq 0)\f$ and \f$h\f$ is concave \f$(h'' \leq 0)\f$ and [\f$f\f$ is nonnegative \f$(f \geq 0)\f$ or \f$h\f$ is linear \f$(h''=0)\f$], or

 * This should hold also for multivariate and linear \f$h\f$, as things are invariant under linear transformations.
