Abstract

We establish existence of steepest descent curves emanating from almost every point of a regular locally Lipschitz quasiconvex functions, where regularity means that the sweeping process flow induced by the sublevel sets is reversible. We then use max-convolution to regularize general quasiconvex functions and obtain a result of the same nature in a more general setting.
