Abstract
In this article, we study symmetry properties of ordered median functions (S. Nickel and J. Puerto, Location Theory – A Unified Approach, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2005). In particular, we prove that every ordered median function is a DCH-function (V.F. Demyanov and A.M. Rubinov, Quasidifferential Calculus, Optimization Software Inc., Publications Division, New York, 1986; D. Pallaschke and R. Urbański, Pairs of Compact Convex Sets – Fractional Arithmetic with Convex Sets, Mathematics and its Applications, Vol. 548, Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, 2002), i.e. can be represented as a difference of two sublinear functions. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for an ordered median function to be convex.
