Abstract
We wrote a survey [18] on lattice ordered algebras five years ago. Why do we return to f-algebras once more? We hasten to say that there is only little overlap between the current paper and that previous survey.We have three purposes for the present paper. In our previous survey we remarked that one aspect that we did not discuss, while of some historical importance to the topic, is the theory of averaging operators. That theory has its roots in the nineteenth century and predates the rise of vector lattices. Positivity is a crucial tool in averaging, and positivity has been a fertile ground for the study of averaging-like operators. The fruits of positivity in averaging have recently (see [24]) started to appear in probability theory (to which averaging operators are close kin) and statistics. In the first section of our paper, we survey the literature for our selection of old theorems on averaging operators, at the same time providing some new perspectives and results as well.
The material in this paper is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. INT 0423522.
