Quasiconvex functions can be approximated by quasiconvex polynomials
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 14 (2008) no. 4, pp. 795-801.

Let W be a function from the real m×n-matrices to the real numbers. If W is quasiconvex in the sense of the calculus of variations, then we show that W can be approximated locally uniformly by quasiconvex polynomials.
