Abstract
A class of -semipreinvex functions, which are some generalizations of the semipreinvex functions, and the -convex functions, is introduced. Examples are given to show their relations among -semipreinvex functions, semipreinvex functions and -convex functions. Some characterizations of -semipreinvex functions are also obtained, and some optimality results are given for a class of -semipreinvex functions. Ours results improve and generalize some known results.
