Given a fixed finite metric space $(V,\mu)$, the {\em minimum $0$-extension problem}, denoted as ${\tt 0\mbox{-}Ext}[\mu]$, is equivalent to the following optimization problem: minimize function of the form $\min\limits_{x\in V^n} \sum_i f_i(x_i) + \sum_{ij}c_{ij}\mu(x_i,x_j)$ where $c_{ij},c_{vi}$ are given nonnegative costs and $f_i:V\rightarrow \mathbb R$ are functions given by $f_i(x_i)=\sum_{v\in V}c_{vi}\mu(x_i,v)$. The computational complexity of ${\tt 0\mbox{-}Ext}[\mu]$ has been recently established by Karzanov and by Hirai: if metric $\mu$ is {\em orientable modular} then ${\tt 0\mbox{-}Ext}[\mu]$ can be solved in polynomial time, otherwise ${\tt 0\mbox{-}Ext}[\mu]$ is NP-hard. To prove the tractability part, Hirai developed a theory of discrete convex functions on orientable modular graphs generalizing several known classes of functions in discrete convex analysis, such as $L^\natural$-convex functions. We consider a more general version of the problem in which unary functions $f_i(x_i)$ can additionally have terms of the form $c_{uv;i}\mu(x_i,\{u,v\})$ for $\{u,v\}\in F$, where set $F\subseteq\binom{V}{2}$ is fixed. We extend the complexity classification above by providing an explicit condition on $(\mu,F)$ for the problem to be tractable. In order to prove the tractability part, we generalize Hirai's theory and define a larger class of discrete convex functions. It covers, in particular, another well-known class of functions, namely submodular functions on an integer lattice. Finally, we improve the complexity of Hirai's algorithm for solving ${\tt 0\mbox{-}Ext}$ on orientable modular graphs.
