Abstract

In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a separable sum of functions to be quasiconvex, a separable product of positive functions to be convex, concave, quasiconvex, quasiconcave, a separable product of operators to be quasimonotone. These conditions are expressed in terms of convexity indices or monotonicity indices.
