Abstract

In this paper, we study Gerstewitz functionals that are defined on an arbitrary linear space without assuming any topology. Extended real-valued functions with uniform sublevel sets turn out to be Gerstewitz functionals if the sublevel sets can be described by a linear shift of a set in a specified direction. Gerstewitz functionals can represent binary relations and thus act as a tool for scalarization. Sets, which are not necessarily convex, can be separated by Gerstewitz functionals. Conditions are given under which a Gerstewitz functional is finite-valued, convex, positively homogeneous, subadditive, sublinear or monotone. The values of each Gerstewitz functional are connected with those of a sublinear function. It is shown that some Minkowski functionals—especially order unit norms—coincide with a Gerstewitz functional on a subset of the space.
