摘要
A quasiconvex function f being given, does there exist an increasing and continuous function k which makes k∘f\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$k\circ f$$\end{document} convex? How to build such a k? Some words on least convex (concave) functions. The ratio of two positive numbers is neither locally convexifiable nor locally concavifiable. Finally, some considerations on the approximation of a preorder from a finite number of observations and on the revealed preference problem are discussed.
