Proving that a specific function is quasiconvex

Hello all,

Assume we have a sequence of quasiconcave functions (in $X$) denoted by $f_{i,j}(X)$ for $i,j = 1,\ldots,n$. Denote by $F(X)$ the $n\times n$ matrix whose $(i,j)$ entry is the function $f_{i,j}(X)$.

Assuming that $F\succ0$ (positive definite for all $X$), I want to prove (or disprove) that the function $g(X)=a^TF^{-1}a$, where $a\in\mathbb{R}_+^{n\times 1}$, is quasiconvex.

Someone have any idea?

Thank you!


Correction: $f_{i,j}(X)$ are quasiconcave and not quasiconvex. Credit to Robert.
