Dual representation of superlinear functionals and its applications in function theory. I (Q4804412)

A superlinear functional \(q:X \to\mathbb{R} \cup\{-\infty\}\) on an ordered vector space \(X\) over \(\mathbb{R}\) admits a dual representation at \(y\in Y\) with respect to the linear subspace \(Y\) of \(X\), if \[ q(y)= \inf\{S(y): S\in L(Y), \;q\leq S\text{ on }Y\}, \] where \(L(Y)\) denotes the space of all linear forms on \(Y\). For a regular reduced projective limit \(X=\lim X_n\) of vector lattices \(X_n\), a linear subspace \(Y\) of \(X\), \(y\in Y\) and a superlinear functional \(q\) on \(X\), the author provides conditions which imply that \(q\) admits a dual representation at \(y\) with respect to \(Y\). He also gives a topological version of this result for projective limits of Fréchet lattices \(X_n\). Further he investigates the supremal functionals \(q_{H, T}\) which are generated by a positive linear form \(T\) and a convex cone \(H\) in an ordered vector space \(X\) and gives conditions which imply that \(q_{H,T}\) admits a dual representation at each \(y\in Y\).
