Abstract

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 \(Cv{x}_{0}(K)\) of non negative functions attaining the value zero at the origin. We show that any order isomorphism on these classes must be induced by a point map on the epi-graphs of the functions, and determine the exact form of this map. To this end we study convexity preserving maps on subsets of \({\mathbb{R}}^{n}\), and also in this area we have some new interpretations, and proofs.
