Use the one-variable quadratic f(t)=a*t²+b*t+c with coefficients [a,b,c]=[0, 12, 0], not ascending-power order. The declared interval [lower,upper]=[-26, 27] belongs to the function data. Give (coefficients,interval,lower<upper?,leading coefficient,rhs-lhs=a*lambda*(1-lambda)*(x-y)^2,qualified convex certificate?). This family requires a nondegenerate interval and a≥0. A No for a singleton or reversed interval means this certificate is unqualified, not that the function on a singleton is nonconvex. A positive convexity certificate must cover all endpoint pairs in the convex domain and every lambda in [0,1]. One Jensen violation can refute convexity, but one successful instance cannot prove it.
G001 — Use the one-variable quadratic f(t)=a*t²+b*t+c with coefficients [a,b,c]=[0, 12, 0], not ascending-power order. The declared interval [lower,upper]=[-26, 27] belongs to the function data.

A No for a singleton or reversed interval means this certificate is unqualified, not that the function on a singleton is nonconvex. A positive convexity certificate must cover all endpoint pairs in the convex domain and every lambda in [0,1]. One Jensen violation can refute convexity, but one successful instance cannot prove it.Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
Before
declared interval record=[-26, 27]
After
ordered_nonempty=Yes;nondegenerate=Yes
Conditions: none
This nonempty-interval protocol uses lower≤upper;the nondegenerate certificate additionally needs lower<upper.A reversed record is unqualified,not a declaration that the abstract empty set is nonconvex.A singleton interval is convex.

Before
arbitrary x,y in [-26,27];0<=lambda<=1;z=lambda*x+(1-lambda)*y
After
z--26=lambda*(x--26)+(1-lambda)*(y--26)>=0;27-z=lambda*(27-x)+(1-lambda)*(27-y)>=0
Conditions: none
Both slacks are nonnegative sums,hence lower≤z≤upper for every endpoint pair and every permitted lambda.No sampling is used;endpoints and singleton cases are included.

Before
univariate quadratic coefficients=[0, 12, 0];order=[a,b,c]
After
f(t)=(0)*t^2+(12)*t+(0)
Conditions: none
These are quadratic,linear,constant coefficients in descending order,not the constant-first boundary-polynomial order.Retain zero leading coefficients.
Rule: quadratic_descending_coefficient_order · Uses: G001, S002
Before
f(t)=(0)*t^2+(12)*t+(0);z=lambda*x+(1-lambda)*y
After
rhs-lhs=(0)*(lambda*x^2+(1-lambda)*y^2-(lambda*x+(1-lambda)*y)^2)
Conditions: none
Expand both Jensen sides.The unit weight sum cancels the linear and constant terms exactly,leaving only the quadratic part.

Before
lambda*x^2+(1-lambda)*y^2-(lambda*x+(1-lambda)*y)^2
After
lambda*(1-lambda)*(x-y)^2;full gap=(0)*lambda*(1-lambda)*(x-y)^2
Conditions: none
Expand the square and collect x²,xy,y².The coefficients are lambda(1−lambda),−2lambda(1−lambda),lambda(1−lambda),yielding the(x−y)^2 factor for all real endpoints.
Rule: jensen_gap_full_symbolic_factorization · Uses: G001, S004
Before
interval=[-26, 27];nondegenerate=Yes;leading=0
After
qualified universal quadratic certificate=Yes
Conditions: none
If a≥0,the nonnegative weight product and square make every Jensen gap nonnegative.This certificate separately requires a nondegenerate interval.No for a singleton or reversed record does not classify a singleton function as nonconvex.
