In this paper the author introduces the notion ``direction of majoration (that we will abbreviate d.m. here) of an extended real-valued function, defined on a finite-dimensional space \(X\) over the reals. An element of \(X\) is a d.m. if there is a ray with this direction in \(X\) where the function remains bounded from above. All the d.m. of a function form a cone that is convex provided the function is quasiconvex. The author investigates the relationships between the cone of d.m. and other similar notions. (The reader should be warned that in the text the notion ``cône asymptote has two different meanings for convex non-closed sets; the same for ``fonctionnelle asymptote for a convex non-l.s.c. function. This causes no problems since the notations are different.) The paper is well-furnished with examples showing the limitations of the proven facts. The notion ``cone of d.m. is used to prove the epiconvergence of a sequence of level sums of quasiconvex functions. This result is applied to prove the epiconvergence of general marginal functions and, in particular, of quasiconvex image functions. As corollaries, some classical results are obtained and a generalized version of a theorem of \textit{S. Traore} and \textit{M. Volle} [Serdica Math. J. 22, 293-306 (1996; Zbl 0876.49013)] is proved. Also, the author has managed to weaken the hypothesis in a criterion for proving lower-semicontinuity and exactness of a marginal function: cf. \textit{C. Zalinescu}'s Theorem 3.2 in [Stability for a class of nonlinear optimization problems and applications, In: Nonsmooth Optimization and Related Topics, 437-458 (1989; Zbl 0721.90067)].
