The Sugeno fuzzy integral of concave functions
The fuzzy integrals are a kind of fuzzy measures acting on fuzzy sets. They can be viewed as an average membershipvalue of fuzzy sets. The value of the fuzzy integral in a decision making environment where uncertainty is presenthas been well established. Most of the integral inequalities studied in the fuzzy integration context normally considerconditions such as monotonicity or comonotonicity....
متن کاملA Utility Equivalence Theorem for Concave Functions
Given any two sets of independent non-negative random variables and a non-decreasing concave utility function, we identify sufficient conditions under which the expected utility of sum of these two sets of variables is (almost) equal. We use this result to design a polynomialtime approximation scheme (PTAS) for the utility maximization in a wide variety of risk-averse settings (when the risk a ...
متن کاملA 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 کاملFisher Equilibrium Price with a Class of Concave Utility Functions
We study efficient algorithms for computing equilibrium price in the Fisher model for a class of nonlinear concave utility functions, the logarithmic utility functions. A duality relation is derived between buyers and sellers under such utility functions. It is applied to design a polynomial time algorithm for calculating equilibrium price, for the special case when either the number of sellers...
متن کاملLearning High-Dimensional Concave Utility Functions for Discrete Choice Models
The discrete choice model explains and predicts the behavior of a consumer who chooses one item to purchase from among a set of alternatives. The consumer is assumed to assign a utility to each item based on its features, and to choose an item with probability proportional to its utility. We consider the high-dimensional setting where the number of item features is large. It is important in thi...
