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:

    “Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “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)

    “It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
