Abstract: In this talk we will demonstrate the correspondence between the linear inequality method developed for rational Chebyshev approximation and the bisection method used in quasiconvex optimisation. It naturally connects rational and generalised rational Chebyshev approximation problems with modern developments in the area of quasiconvex functions. Moreover, the linear inequality method can be extended to a broader class of Chebyshev approximation problems, where the corresponding objective functions remain quasiconvex.
