To study the convexity of this function I calculate the Hessian but is complicate to find is semi-definite positive or negative.

    Let $g(x) = int_0^x e^{t^2} dt $ for $x ge 0$. It is convex and increasing. The function $(x,y) mapsto x^2+y^4$ is convex. Now compose...

    @JRen: A moment's thought will show how to extend $g$ for $x <0$. (This is not the first time I have seen a convex function :-)).
