Abstract

In this paper, new classes of generalized convex functions are introduced, extending the concepts of quasi-convexity, pseudoconvexity, and their associate subclasses. Functions belonging to these classes satisfy certain local-global minimum properties. Conversely, it is shown that, under some mild regularity conditions, functions for which the local-global minimum properties hold must belong to one of the classes of functions introduced.
