The purpose of this paper is to show stability of order preserving/reversing transforms on the class of non-negative convex functions in ${\mathbb R}^n$, and its subclass, the class of non-negative convex functions attaining $0$ at the…

This paper considers homogeneous order preserving continuous maps on the normal cone of an ordered normed vector space. It is shown that certain operators of that kind which are not necessarily compact themselves but have a compact power…

We give several characterizations of order continuous vector lattice homomorphisms between Archimedean vector lattices. We reduce the proofs of some of the equivalences to the case of composition operators between vector lattices of…

In this paper we give a characterization of all order isomorphisms on some classes of convex functions. We deal with the class $Cvx(K)$ consisting of lower-semi-continuous convex functions defined on a convex set $K$, and its subclass…

We give an example of a convex, finite and lower semicontinuous function whose subdifferential is everywhere empty. This is possible since the function is defined on an incomplete normed space. The function serves as a universal…

Let $C$ be a closed cone with nonempty interior $C^\circ$ in a Banach space. Let $f:C^\circ \rightarrow C^\circ$ be an order-preserving subhomogeneous function with a fixed point in $C^\circ$. We introduce a condition which guarantees that…

We characterize order preserving continuous surjections between compact linearly ordered spaces which admit an averaging operator, together with estimates of the norm of such an operator. This result is used to the study of strengthenings…

The main goal of this work is to determine which entire functions preserve nonnegativity of matrices of a fixed order $n$ -- i.e., to characterize entire functions $f$ with the property that $f(A)$ is entrywise nonnegative for every…

A known characterization for entire functions that preserve all nonnegative matrices of order two is shown to characterize polynomials that preserve nonnegative matrices of order two. Equivalent conditions are derived and used to prove that…

We prove that convex functions of finite order on the real line and subharmonic functions of finite order on finite dimensional real space, bounded from above outside of some set of zero relative Lebesgue density, are bounded from above…

Based on both the fundamental theorem of affine geometry in regular $L^0$-modules and the recent progress in random convex analysis, this paper characterizes the stable fully order preserving and order reversing operators acting on the…

A pointed convex cone naturally induces a partial order, and further a notion of nondecreasingness for functions. We consider extended real-valued functions defined on the cone. Monotone conjugates for these functions can be defined in an…

Let $X$ be an arbitrary set. Then a topology $t$ on $X$ is said to be completely useful if every upper semicontinuous linear (total) preorder $\precsim$ on $X$ can be represented by an upper semicontinuous real-valued order preserving…

It is well known that increasing functions do not preserve operator order in general; nor do decreasing functions reverse operator order. However, operator monotone increasing or operator monotone decreasing do. In this article, we employ a…

Let $\precsim$ be a reflexive binary relation on a topological space $(X, \tau )$. A pair $(u,v)$ of continuous real-valued functions on $(X, \tau )$ is said to be a {\em continuous representation} of $\precsim$ if, for all $x,y \in X$,…

In the present paper we study necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a semicontinuous and finite Richter-Peleg multi-utility for a preorder. It is well know that, given a preorder on a topological space, if there is a…

In this paper we presents further developments regarding the enrichment of the basic Theory of Order Completion. In particular, spaces of generalized functions are constructed that contain generalized solutions to all systems of continuous,…

Functions with uniform level sets can represent orders, preference relations or other binary relations and thus turn out to be a tool for scalarization that can be used, e.g., in multicriteria optimization, decision theory, mathematical…

In the first part of this article, we study linear cones over totally ordered fields. We show that for each such cone there uniquely exists a universal vector space (called its spanned vector space) into which it embeds as a generating…

In this paper we establish that if a Tychonoff space $X$ is \v{C}ech-complete then the space $O_\tau(X)$ of all $\tau$-smooth order-preserving, weakly additive and normed functionals is also \v{C}ech-complete
