∀ {𝕜 : Type u_1} [inst : Field 𝕜] [inst_1 : LinearOrder 𝕜] [IsStrictOrderedRing 𝕜] {s : Set 𝕜} {f : 𝕜 → 𝕜},
  StrictConcaveOn 𝕜 s f →
    ∀ {a x y : 𝕜}, a ∈ s → x ∈ s → y ∈ s → x ≠ a → y ≠ a → x < y → (f y - f a) / (y - a) < (f x - f a) / (x - a)

If f : 𝕜 → 𝕜 is strictly concave, then for any point a the slope of the secant line of f through a and b is strictly antitone with respect to b.
