I am trying to minimize the below function, can it be considered quasiconvex and/or convex?
$$F(\mathbf{x})= \frac{|\mathbf{a}^T\mathbf{\Sigma}\mathbf{x}|}{\mathbf{x}^T\mathbf{\Sigma}\mathbf{x}}$$
where $\mathbf{a},\, \mathbf{x}$ are real-valued vectors and $\mathbf{\Sigma}$ is a positive-definite matrix.
I know that the numerator is convex (absolute value of affine) and the denominator is convex and positive.
This ratio is in general not (quasi)convex. Consider dimension $n = 1$ and $\Sigma = a = 1$. You end up with $$ F(x) = \frac{|x|}{x^2} = \frac{1}{|x|}. $$
This cannot be (quasi)convex, since its sublevel sets are not convex. For example: $$ F_{1} := \left\{x \mid F(x) \leq 1 \right\} = \{x \mid |x| \geq 1 \} = (-\infty, -1] \cup [1, \infty), $$
which is a disjoint union of intervals and as such nonconvex.
