Abstract: The goal of this paper is to describe the extreme points of a convex set of linear positive operators acting from the space of continuous real-valued functions on a compact set to an order-complete vector lattice and mapping the identity unit to some fixed nonzero element. The main tool of our study is the canonical sublinear operator method proposed by S. S. Kutateladze. The idea of this method is that an arbitrary sublinear operator can be represented as the composition of a linear operator and a specific sublinear operator, called the canonical Kutateladze sublinear operator. The extreme points of an arbitrary sublinear operator are the composition of the linear operator and the extreme points of the canonical Kutateladze sublinear operator. Using this fact, we obtained a description of the extreme points of the convex set of positive linear operators under study using lattice homomorphisms, in particular, pure states, which represent a special type of extreme points of the canonical Kutateladze sublinear operator. Keywords: vector lattice, extreme point, lattice homomorphism, quasi-regular measure, sublinear operator Funding: The work was carried out at the North Caucasus Center for Mathematical Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences with the support of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, agreement No. 075-02-2026-738.
