A note on concave utility functions
The classical theory of preference among monetary bets represents people as expected utility maximizers with concave utility functions. Critics of this account often rely on assumptions about preferences over wide ranges of total wealth. We derive a prediction of the theory that bears on bets at any fixed level of wealth, and test the prediction behaviorally. Our results are discrepant with the...
متن کاملGeneralized Schur-concave functions and Eaton triples
Motivated by Schur-concavity, we introduce the notion of G-concavity where G is a closed subgroup of the orthogonal group O(V ) on a finite dimensional real inner product space V . The triple (V,G, F ) is an Eaton triple if F ⊂ V is a nonempty closed convex cone such that (A1) Gx ∩ F is nonempty for each x ∈ V . (A2) maxg∈G(x, gy) = (x, gy) for all x, y ∈ F . If W := spanF and H := {g|W : g ∈ G...
متن کاملA Note on Frobenius-schur Indicators
This exposition concerns two different notions of Frobenius-Schur indicators for finite-dimensional Hopf algebras. These two versions of indicators coincide when the underlying Hopf algebra is semisimple. We are particularly interested in the family of pivotal finite-dimensional Hopf algebras with unique pivotal element; both indicators are gauge invariants of this family of Hopf algebras. We o...
متن کاملQuasi-concave functions on antimatroids
In this paper we consider quasi-concave set functions defined on antimatroids. There are many equivalent axiomatizations of antimatroids, that may be separated into two categories: antimatroids defined as set systems and antimatroids defined as languages. An algorthmic characterization of antimatroids, that considers them as set systems, was given in [4]. This characterization is based on the i...
متن کاملValuations on Log-Concave Functions
A classification of SL(n) and translation covariant Minkowski valuations on log-concave functions is established. The moment vector and the recently introduced level set body of log-concave functions are characterized. Furthermore, analogs of the Euler characteristic and volume are characterized as SL(n) and translation invariant valuations on log-concave functions. 2000 AMS subject classificat...
