A linear operator between two ordered vector spaces that carries positive elements to positive elements is known in the literature as a positive operator. As we have mentioned in the preface, the main theme of this book is the study of positive operators. To obtain fruitful and useful results the domains and the ranges of positive operators will be taken to be Riesz spaces (vector lattices). For this reason, in order to make the material as self-sufficient as possible, the fundamental properties of Riesz spaces are discussed as they are needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
