Abstract: In this talk we will present some results concerning the problem of preserving quasiconvexity when summing up quasiconvex functions and we will relate it to the problem of preserving quasiconvexity when taking the infimum of a family of quasiconvex functions. To develop our study, the notion of quasiconvex family is introduced, and we establish various characterizations of such a concept.
