Some extensions of quasi-convexity appearing in the literature are explored and relations found between them. Hadamard's inequality is connected tenaciously with convexity and versions of it are shown to hold in our setting. Our theorems extend and unify a number of known results. In particular, we derive a generalised Kenyon-Klee theorem.
