If preferences are defined in an expected-utility framework with differentiable utility, the direction of preference for a particular class of lottery pairs is equivalent to signing the nth der...

Using formal, machine checked simulation proofs constructed using the PVS theorem proving system, we have shown that all algorithms that satisfy opacity also satisfy TMS1, and that all algorithms that sa...
