چکیده

This overview focuses on lexicographic choice under conditions of uncertainty. First, lexicographic versions of traditional (von Neumann-Morgenstern) expected utility theory are described where the usual Archimedean axiom is weakened.

Finally, some lexicographic extensions of the classical maximin decision rule are described.
