AbstractIn this note we study order reversing quasi involutions and their properties. These maps are dualities (order reversing involutions) on their image. We prove that any order reversing quasi involution is induced by a cost. Invariant sets of order reversing quasi involutions are of special interest and we provide several results regarding their ...
