for a project I need to prove quasiconvexity of several general functions. Can I argue that the union (or sum, or difference…) of quasiconvex functions is again quasiconvex?
I do know that the sum of convex functions is again convex, does this apply to quasiconvexity?
My functions may include the log-function, which is quasiconvex but not convex (for example).
Thank you very much for your help.
Best wishes,
Britta

Sum of two quasiconvex functions need not to be quasiconvex. Have you seen this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasiconvex_function?
