In this paper, we introduce the addition and g‐difference of continuous Z ‐numbers at first. Then, we define a new partial order to rank the Z ‐numbers with generalized centroids. The g‐derivative of Z ‐number function based on g‐difference is proposed. It is well known that convexity plays a vital role in optimization problems; consequently, we present the convexity of Z ‐number function. Furthermore, we provide the optimality conditions for optimization problems based on Z ‐numbers. Finally, the validity of the discussion is illustrated by an example.
