In this work, Bβˆ’1\mathbb{B}^{-1}-convex functions which are a new class of generalized convex functions are studied. Some theorems about important properties of Bβˆ’1\mathbb{B}^{-1}-convex functions are proved. Also, with the aim of regarding the relation between convex and Bβˆ’1\mathbb{B}^{-1}-convex functions, some examples are given.
