Abstract:

Let $(\mathcal {B}, \ll )$ be a Banach lattice, and $(a,b)$ be an open interval on the real line. A function $F:(a,b) \to \mathcal {B}$ is defined to be weakly convex if there exists a nonnegative nondecreasing continuous function $G:(a,b) \to \mathcal {B}$ such that $p[F(S)] + tp[G(s)] \leq p[F(s + t)]$, whenever $s$ and $s + t$ are in $(a,b)$ for each positive linear functional $p$ on $\mathcal {B}$. A representation theorem is proved as follows: If $F$ is weakly convex on $(a,b)$ and is bounded on an interval contained in $(a,b)$, then $(B)\int _{a + \epsilon }^x {G(s)dm = F(x) - F(a + \epsilon )}$, where $(B)\int _{a + \epsilon }^x {G(s)dm}$ is the Bochner integral of $G$ on $[a, \epsilon ,x]$ with $0 < \epsilon$ and $a < \epsilon < x < b$.
