In mathematics , the quasi derivative is one of several generalizations of the derivative of a function mathematics function between two Banach space s. The quasi derivative is a slightly stronger version of the G teaux derivative , though weaker than the Fr chet derivative . Let f A &rarr F be a continuous function from an open set A in a Banach space E to another Banach space F . Then the quasi derivative of f at x sub 0 sub &isin A is a linear transformation u E &rarr F with the following property for every continuous function g 0,1 &rarr A with g 0 x sub 0 sub such that g &prime 0 &isin E exists, math lim t to 0 frac f g t f x 0 t u g 0 . math If such a linear map u exists, then f is said to be quasi differentiable at x sub 0 sub . Continuity of u need not be assumed, but it follows instead from the definition of the quasi derivative. If f is Fr chet differentiable at x sub 0 sub , then by the chain rule , f is also quasi differentiable and its quasi derivative is equal to its Fr chet derivative at x sub 0 sub . The converse is true provided E is finite dimensional. Finally, if f is quasi differentiable, then it is G teaux differentiable and its G teaux derivative is equal to its quasi derivative.

Unreferenced date July 2010 In Canada, the term quasi constitutional is used for laws which contain a provision causing them to override any subsequent laws which might contradict them. At the federal level, such laws include the Canadian Bill of Rights and the Official Languages Act . In Quebec, the Charter of the French Language and the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms have been given quasi constitutional status. A quasi constitutional law may be overridden by means of a provision, in any subsequent law, stating that this new law applies notwithstanding the previous quasi constitutional law. However, in the absence of such a disclaimer in the new law, the quasi constitutional law is considered to override any contradicting provision of the later enacted law.

Quasi peak means not quite peak , or aiming towards peak but not actually peak . The term is commonly used when referring to electronic detector s or rectifier s. Despite the above definition, the term quasi peak should not be interpreted as vague in any way. Quasi peak detectors for specific purposes usually have been standardized with mathematically precisely defined dynamic characteristics, in terms of attack time , integration time , and decay time or fall back time. Quasi peak detectors play an important role in electromagnetic compatibility EMC testing of electronic equipment, where allowed levels of electromagnetic interference EMI , also called radio frequency interference RFI , are given with reference to measurement by a specified quasi peak detector.

Any two finite or bounded metric spaces are quasi isometric.

Generally, this function is allowed to include a multiplicative factor known as the overdispersion parameter or scale parameter that is estimated from the data.
