Max-plus convexity in Riesz spaces

Abstract

We study max-plus convexity in an Archimedean Riesz space EE with an order unit \un\un; the definition of max-plus convex sets is algebraic and we do not assume that EE has an {\it a priori} given topological structure. To the given unit \un\un one can associate two equivalent norms \norm\norm\un\norm\cdot\norm_{\un} and \norm\norm\hun\norm\cdot\norm_{\hun} on EE; the distance D\hun{\sf D}_{\hun} on EE associated to \norm\norm\hun\norm\cdot\norm_{\hun} is a geodesic distance for which max-plus convex sets in EE are geodesically closed sets. Under suitable assumptions, we establish max-plus versions of some fixed points and continuous selection theorems that are well known for linear convex sets and we show that hyperspaces of compact max-plus convex sets are Absolute Retracts.
