Conditions for Convexity of Quasiconvex Functions

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1287/moor.5.1.120

Necessary and sufficient conditions for convexity of lower semi-continuous quasiconvex functions are given. By applying these results to positively homogeneous functions it is shown that if f is a quadratic form which is quasiconvex on a convex C then f is convexifiable, that is, there exists a strictly increasing function k such that kf is convex.
