Abstract. In this paper we examine the quasiminimizing properties of radial power-type functions u(x) = |x|^\alpha in Rⁿ. We find the optimal quasiminimizing constant whenever u is a quasiminimizer of the p-Dirichlet integral, p \neq n, and similar results when u is a quasisub- and quasisuperminimizer. We also obtain similar results for log-powers when p = n.
