AbstractWe prove that if f : ℝN → ℝ̄ is quasiconvex and U ⊂ ℝN is open in the density topology, then supU ƒ = ess supU f ; while infU ƒ = ess supU ƒ if and only if the equality holds when U = RN: The first (second) property is typical of lsc (usc) functions, and, even when U is an ordinary open subset, there seems to be no record that they both hold for all quasiconvex functions.This property ensures that the pointwise extrema of f on any nonempty density open subset can be arbitrarily closely approximated by values of ƒ achieved on “large” subsets, which may be of relevance in a variety of situations. To support this claim, we use it to characterize the common points of continuity, or approximate continuity, of two quasiconvex functions that coincide away from a set of measure zero.
