The authors prove in this paper that also the reverse is true for large classes of scaling-invariant functions.  More specifically, the authors prove the following fundamental result. Let \\(f\\) be a continuous SI function. Then for all \\(\\alpha>0\\), there exists a continuous \\(PH_\\alpha\\) function \\(p\\) and a strictly increasing and continuous bijection (thus a homeomorphism) \\(\\varphi\\) such that \\(f =\\varphi\\circ p\\). For a nonzero \\(f\\) and \\(\\alpha > 0\\), the choice of \\((\\varphi, p)\\) is unique up to a left composition of \\(p\\) with a piece-wise linear function. If \\(f\\) admits a global optimum, then \\(0\\) is also a global optimum. For any \\(x_0\\in\\mathbb{R}^n\\) such that \\(f (x_0)\\neq0\\), in the case where \\(p\\) is a \\(PH_1\\) function, the homeomorphism \\(\\varphi\\) can be chosen as \\(f_{x_0}\\) and is at least as smooth as \\(f\\). If \\(f\\) does not admit a global optimum, then there exist \\(x_1, x_{-1}\\in\\mathbb{R}^n\\) such that \\(f(x_1) > 0\\) and \\(f (x_{-1}) < 0\\). For any such \\(x_1\\) and \\(x_{-1}\\), in the case where \\(p\\) is a \\(PH_1\\) function, the homeomorphism \\(\\varphi\\) can be chosen as the function equal to \\(f_{x_1}\\) on \\(\\mathbb{R}_+\\) and equal to \\(t\\mapsto f_{x_{-1}}(-t)\\) on \\(\\mathbb{R}_-\\), where \\[ f_x:t\\in[0,\\infty)\\mapsto f(tx) \\] is the surjective restriction of \\(f\\) to half-lines along the vector \\(x\\in\\mathbb{R}^n\\).  Relaxing continuity, they also prove some necessary and sufficient condition under which an SI function is the composite of a PH function with a strictly monotonic function. In particular, let \\(f\\) be an SI function. There exist a \\(PH_1\\) function \\(p\\) and a strictly increasing function \\(\\varphi\\) such that \\(f =\\varphi\\circ p\\) if and only if for all \\(x\\in\\mathbb{R}^n\\), the function \\(f_x\\) is either constant or strictly monotonic and the strictly increasing \\(f_x\\) share the same image (i.e., if \\(\\lambda\\in\\mathbb{R}\\) is reached for one of these functions, then it is reached for all of them) and the strictly decreasing ones too. For a nonzero \\(f\\), up to a left composition of \\(p\\) with a piece-wise linear function, the choice of \\((\\varphi, p)\\) is unique.  The authors also study sublevel sets of scaling-invariant functions generalizing well-known properties of positively homogeneous functions.","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2664909$04BA6F21-48FE-46CD-B156-E50BB8F99CD7","rank":"normal"}],"P1447":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1447","hash":"2baf13ba87906148774d6b39bf39600226dd4d06","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":2052907,"id":"Q2052907"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2664909$22D5F775-0556-45A5-BBCE-431DEC118A22","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"530400266b598f0b06b634b1082c0ed18a5b12d9","datavalue":{"value":"26B35","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2664909$57573103-ECB8-4DAA-A32C-894DE420E4C8","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"50e54321cc80124293b2516610b1f4290bd18505","datavalue":{"value":"54C35","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2664909$E4181885-7E64-4842-9D35-067374A9F60A","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"166e4a51e7ace285a8ef92be39da2625c5914749","datavalue":{"value":"54C30","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2664909$8FEB9E98-BE95-46C5-A288-1E9859E9BBEE","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"5a9c11d605de34c4553495d73e81d533d36cf098","datavalue":{"value":"7429240","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q2664909$7A10A691-9682-4CA2-9E8F-03D20A458F42","rank":"normal"}],"P1450":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"42387bd5a5f22a34eb663d163838b5f6ad9fb8f7","datavalue":{"value":"scaling-invariant
