Richter–Peleg multi-utility representations of preorders
نویسندگان
چکیده
The existence of a Richter–Peleg multi-utility representation of a preorder by means of upper semicontinuous or continuous functions is discussed in connection with the existence of a Richter–Peleg utility representation. We give several applications that include the analysis of countable Richter–Pelegmulti-utility representations.

Continuous Multi-Utility for Extremely Continuous Preorders
We present some sufficient conditions for the existence of a continuous multi-utility representation of a preorder on a topological space (X, τ) (i.e., for the existence of a family F of continuous increasing realvalued functions on the preordered topological space (X, τ, ) such that, for every pair of elements (x, y) ∈ X×X, x y ⇔ f(x) ≤ f(y) ∀f ∈ F). Such conditions are based on the concept of...
متن کاملUtility representation of an incomplete and nontransitive preference relation
The objective of this paper is to provide continuous utility representation theorems analogous to Debreu’s classic utility representation theorem, albeit for preference relations that may fail to be complete and/or transitive. Specifically, we show that every (continuous and) reflexive binary relation on a (compact) metric space can be represented by means of the maxmin, or dually, minmax, of a...
متن کاملInterpersonal Comparisons of Utility: An algebraic characterization of projective preorders and some welfare consequences
Interpersonal Comparisons of Utility: An Algebraic Characterization of Projective Preorders and Some Welfare Consequences It is shown that any completely preordered topological real algebra admits a continuous utility representation which is an algebra-homomorphism (i.e., it is linear and multiplicative). As an application of this result, we provide an algebraic characterization of the projecti...
متن کاملMultiutility representations for incomplete difference preorders
A difference preorder is a (possibly incomplete) preorder on a space of state changes (rather than the states themselves); it encodes information about preference intensity, in addition to ordinal preferences. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a difference preorder to be representable by a family of cardinal utility functions which take values in linearly ordered abelian groups. T...
متن کاملBezalel Peleg and Hans Peters: Strategic social choice. Stable representations of constitutions
Many sincere compliments should be addressed to Bezalel Peleg and Hans Peters, the authors of the book Strategic Social Choice. Stable Representations of Constitutions published last year by Springer. Our experience with the previous books of these authors on game theory (Peleg 1984; Peleg and Sudhölter 2003; Peters 1992, 2008) induces very high expectations with respect to this jointly written...
