Abstract

The notions of spherically concave functions defined on a subregion of the Riemann sphere P are introduced in different ways in Kim & Minda [The hyperbolic metric and spherically convex regions. J. Math. Kyoto Univ. 41 (2001), 297-314] and Kim & Sugawa [Charaterizations of hyperbolically convex regions. J. Math. Anal. Appl. 309 (2005), 37-51]. We show continuity of the concave function defined in the latter and show that the two notions of the concavity are equivalent for a function of class <TEX>$C^2$</TEX>. Moreover, we find more characterizations for spherically concave functions.
