Convex envelopes of separable functions over regions defined by separable functions of the same type

In this paper we derive the convex envelope of separable functions obtained as a linear combination of strictly convex coercive one-dimensional functions over compact regions defined by linear combinations of the same one-dimensional functions. As a corollary of the main result, we are able to derive the convex envelope of any quadratic function (not necessarily separable) over any ellipsoid, and the convex envelope of some quadratic functions over a convex region defined by two quadratic constraints
