Abstract

In 1979, in an interesting paper, R.J. Morris introduced the notion of convex set function defined on an atomless finite measure space. After a short period this notion, as well as generalizations of it, began to be studied in several papers. The aim was to obtain results similar to those known for usual convex (or generalized convex) functions. Unfortunately several notions are ambiguous and the arguments used in the proofs of several results are not clear or not correct. In this way there were stated even false results. The aim of this paper is to point out that using some simple ideas it is possible, on one hand, to deduce the correct results by means of convex analysis and, on the other hand, to emphasize the reasons for which there are problems with other results.
