Quasiconvex Function

Bol

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In mathematics, a quasiconvex function is a real-valued function defined on an interval or on a convex subset of a real vector space such that the inverse image of any set of the form (-infinity,a) is a convex set. A quasiconcave function is a function whose negative is quasiconvex, and a strictly quasiconcave function is a function whose negative is strictly quasiconvex. A (strictly) quasiconvex function has (strictly) convex lower contour sets, while a (strictly) quasiconcave function has (strictly) convex upper contour sets. Optimization methods that work for quasiconvex functions come under the heading of quasiconvex programming. This comes under the broad heading of mathematical programming and generalizes both linear programming and convex programming.
