On extensions of some nonlinear maps in vector lattices

We show that an Urysohn lattice pre-homomorphism defined on a normal sublattice D of a vector lattice E can be extended to the whole space E and the extended operator is an Urysohn lattice homomorphism. We introduce a new class of nonlinear operators which called φ-operators and describe some of their properties. Finally we investigate a structure of positive orthogonally additive operators dominated by an Urysohn lattice homomorphism defined on a vector lattice E and taking value in Dedekind complete vector lattice F. © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
