For example, quasi-static compression of a system by a piston subject to friction is irreversible; although the system is always in internal thermal equilibrium, the friction ensures the generation of dissipative entropy, which goes against the definition of reversibility. Any engineer would remember to include friction when calculating the ...
Quasi-property is a legal concept, in which some rights similar to ownership may accrue to a party who does an act which benefits society as a whole. Black's Law Dictionary defines "quasi" as being "almost" or "resembling" - but not actually the same as the suffix item.

A function : defined on a convex subset of a real vector space is quasiconvex if for all , and [,] we have (+ ()) {(), ()}.In words, if is such that it is always true that a point directly between two other points does not give a higher value of the function than both of the other points do, then is quasiconvex.
If is a quasinorm on then induces a vector topology on whose neighborhood basis at the origin is given by the sets: [2] {: < /} as ranges over the positive integers. A topological vector space with such a topology is called a quasinormed topological vector space or just a quasinormed space.
