Quasiconvex Function - Examples

Examples

  • Every convex function is quasiconvex.
  • A concave function can be quasiconvex function. For example log(x) is concave, and it is quasiconvex.
  • Any monotonic function is both quasiconvex and quasiconcave. More generally, a function which decreases up to a point and increases from that point on is quasiconvex (compare unimodality).
  • The floor function is an example of a quasiconvex function that is neither convex nor continuous.
  • If f(x) and g(y) are positive convex decreasing functions, then is quasiconvex.

Famous quotes containing the word examples:

    “No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
    —André Breton (1896–1966)

    “In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
    —Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
