Mixtures, Generalized Convexity and Balayages.

Abstract

How the dispersiveness of the mixing distribution carries over to the mixed model is qualified in terms of generalized convex functions. These ideas are extensions of those in Shaked (1980) and Schweder (1982). A representation akin to the one for dilations is also given for balayages defined in terms of these generalized convex functions. (Author)
