Abstract

Sufficient axioms are identified for the existence of a finite- dimensional quasilinear utility function whose lexicographically ordered vectors preserve a decision maker's preference order on a mixture set ${\cal M}$. It is shown that those axioms are also necessary for the linear lexicographic representation when the underlying set ${\cal M}$ is a mixture space.
