We study max-plus convexity in an Archimedean Riesz space E with an order unit u; the definition of max-plus convex sets is algebraic and we do not assume that E has an a priori given topological structure. To the given unit u one can associate two equivalent norms · u and · hu on E; the distance D hu on E associated to · hu is a geodesic distance for which max-plus convex sets in E are geodesically closed sets. Under suitable assumptions, we establish max-plus versions of some fixed points and continuous selection theorems that are well known for linear convex sets and we show that hyperspaces of compact max-plus convex sets are Absolute Retracts.MSC: 14T99, 46A40, 54H25, 54C55, 54C65, 62P20.
