Popis: We use asymptotic analysis to describe in a more systematic way the behavior at the infinity of functions in the convex and quasiconvex case. Starting from the formulae for the first- and second-order asymptotic function in the convex case, we introduce similar notions suitable for dealing with quasiconvex functions. Afterward, by using such notions, a class of quasiconvex vector mappings under which the image of a closed convex set is closed, is introduced; we characterize the nonemptiness and boundedness of the set of minimizers of any lsc quasiconvex function; finally, we also characterize boundedness from below, along lines, of any proper and lsc function.
