On the representation of preference orders on sequence spaces

Author

Listed:
  • Kuntal Banerjee

Abstract

A set of sufficient conditions for representability of preference orders on real sequence spaces is analyzed. In particular, monotonicity and continuity of the order is not assumed. Two applications are worked out to demonstrate how such a result might be useful. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014
