Let \((G,u)\) be an Archimedean norm-complete dimension group with order-unit. In this paper intervals (nonempty upward-directed lower subsets) of \(G\) which are closed with respect to the canonical norm of \((G,u)\) are investigated. A canonical one-to-one correspondence between closed intervals of \(G\) and certain affine lower semicontinuous functions on the state space of \((G,u)\) is established. Consequently, two problems of K. R. Goodearl about inserting affine continuous functions between convex upper semicontinuous and concave lower semicontinuous functions are solved. This yields new results about analogues of multiplier groups for norm-closed intervals.
