Abstract.The extreme points of the convex set of all additive set functions on a field, which coincide on a subfield are characterized by a simple approximation property. It is proved that a stronger approximation property is characteristic for a so-called monogenic additive set function on a field, which can be generated uniquely by an additive set function on a subfield. Finally it is shown that a simple decomposition property must hold if the convex set above has a finite number of extreme points.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
