Abstract

Let ϕ be an arbitrary bijection of ℝ + . We prove that if the two-place function ϕ - 1 [ ϕ ( s ) + ϕ ( t ) ] is subadditive in ℝ + 2 then ϕ must be a convex homeomorphism of ℝ + . This is a partial converse of Mulholland’s inequality. Some new properties of subadditive bijections of ℝ + are also given. We apply the above results to obtain several converses of Minkowski’s inequality.
