Quasi-copulas as linear combinations of copulas

Abstract

We prove that every quasi-copula can be written as a uniformly converging infinite sum of multiples of copulas. Furthermore, we characterize those quasi-copulas which can be written as a finite sum of multiples of copulas, i.e., that are a linear combination of two copulas. This generalizes a recent result of Fern\'{a}ndez-S\'{a}nchez, Quesada-Molina, and \'{U}beda-Flores who considered linear combinations of discrete copulas.
