A function f:A->A has convex/concave potential if there is F:R^n->R such that grad F=f, and F is convex/concave. Let A sub R^n be a compact set. Are there efficient ways to generate not trivial examples of such functions such that f:A->A is onto A ?

A function f : A A has convex/concave potential if there is F : R n R such that F = f, and F is convex/concave.
Let A R n be a compact set.
Are there efficient ways to generate not trivial examples of such functions such that f : A A is onto A?

F : R n R ,
defined by
F ( x 1 , . . . , x n ) = 1 2 n j = 1 m x j 2 n
