In the [[calculus of variations]], a subfield of mathematics, '''quasiconvexity''' is a generalisation of the notion of convexity. It is used to characterise the integrand of a functional and related to the existence of minimisers. Under some natural conditions, quasiconvexity of the integrand is a necessary and sufficient condition for a functional | In the [[calculus of variations]], a subfield of mathematics, '''quasiconvexity''' is a generalisation of the notion of convexity.
