A Characterization of Lexicographic Preferences
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper characterizes lexicographic preferences over alternatives that are identified by a finite number of attributes. Our characterization is based on two key concepts: weaker notion continuity called “mild continuity” (strict preference order between any different with respect to every attribute preserved around their small neighborhoods) and an “unhappy set” (any alternative outside such set preferred all inside). Three aspects our as follows: (i) we use arguments; (ii) the stepwise approach looking at attributes time; (iii) in contrast previous literature, do not impose noncompensation consider condition.

Evolutionary stability and lexicographic preferences
We explore the interaction between evolutionary stability and lexicographic preferences. To do so, we define a limit Nash equilibrium for a lexicographic game as the limit of Nash equilibria of nearby games with continuous preferences. Nash equilibria of lexicographic games are limit Nash equilibria, but not conversely. Modified evolutionarily stable strategies (Binmore and Samuelson, 1992. J. ...
متن کاملAllocation of Divisible Goods Under Lexicographic Preferences
We present a simple and natural non-pricing mechanism for allocating divisible goods among strategic agents having lexicographic preferences. Our mechanism has favorable properties of strategy-proofness (incentive compatibility). In addition (and even when extended to the case of Leontief bundles) it enjoys Pareto efficiency, envy-freeness, and time efficiency. 1998 ACM Subject Classification F...
متن کاملMulti-Objective POMDPs with Lexicographic Reward Preferences
We propose a model, Lexicographic Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (LPOMDP), which extends POMDPs with lexicographic preferences over multiple value functions. It allows for slack–slightly less-than-optimal values–for higherpriority preferences to facilitate improvement in lower-priority value functions. Many real life situations are naturally captured by LPOMDPs with slack. We cons...
متن کاملA Conditional Lexicographic Approach for the Elicitation of QoS Preferences
In a service-oriented environment, clients can usually choose between several web services offering the same functionality. The web service selection can be automated by allowing clients to specify nonfunctional requirements such as quality of service. Clients should also be able to indicate how to make tradeoffs when some of these requirements cannot be met. The ability to capture tradeoff pre...
متن کاملA Characterization of Lexicographic Max-Ordering Solutions
In this paper we give the deenition of a solution concept in multicri-teria combinatorial optimization. We show how Pareto, max-ordering and lexicographically optimal solutions can be incorporated in this framework. Furthermore we state some properties of lexicographic max-ordering solutions , which combine features of these three kinds of optimal solutions. Two of these properties, which are d...
