Moreover the concept of the locally convex function is introduced in the study of the solutions of this equations ([1, 3, 5, 9]). In this paper an attempt is made to define a generalization of this type of functions (i.e. it is defined the quasi-locally convex functions), some properties of the quasi-locally convex functions are studied, and an important example of quasi-locally affine function is presented. %K locally affine %K epigraph %K function. %U http://www.icstm.ro/DOCS/josa/josa_2010_2/a.13_locally_affine_functions.pdf
