An extension of the ordering to the set of probabllity measures

А general method for extension of the ordering to the set of the probability measured. lt based оn the Galois соnneсtiоn betwееn all such extensions and subsets of isotone mappings of the given ordered set in the real numbers. The canоnical extension is defined as extension determined bу the set of all isotone mappings. For canоnical extension, аn effective description is given аnd the maximal measures in соnvex polyhedra are found. Some applications of considered methods for decision making problems are indicated.
