    In defining differentiability, monotonicity and convexity of a real function one uses real numbers, addition, multiplication and linear functions. The authors replace them by position numbers, division, supermultiplication (i.e., \(a\otimes b= a^{\log b}\)) and exponential functions, respectively; the corresponding concepts are called superdifferentiability, supermotonicity and superconvexity. The functions having such properties are investigated. For superconvex functions an analogue of the Jensen inequality is given and applications are provided.
