Coherent choice functions under uncertainty
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss several features of coherent choice functions – where the admissible options in a decision problem are exactly those which maximize expected utility for some probability/utility pair in fixed set S of probability/utility pairs. In this paper we consider, primarily, normal form decision problems under uncertainty – where only the probability component of S is indeterminate. Coherent choice distinguishes between each pair of sets of probabilities. We axiomatize the theory of choice functions and show these axioms are necessary for coherence. The axioms are sufficient for coherence using a set of probability/almost-state-independent utility pairs. We give sufficient conditions when a choice function satisfying our axioms is represented by a set of probability/state-independent utility pairs with a common utility.

The results of managerial decisions are influenced by numerous factors, parameters, and processes that impart them a stochastic, or even, to a certain extent, an uncertain character. It is caused by as the fundamental impossibility to describe fully enough and to forecast future processes in advance, as the stochastic nature of some factors and parameters of these processes (for example, fluctu...

This paper presents a novel bi-objective multi-product capacitated vehicle routing problem with uncertainty in demand of retailers and volume of products (UCVRP) and heterogeneous vehicle fleets. The first of two conflict fuzzy objective functions is to minimize the cost of the used vehicles, fuel consumption for full loaded vehicles and shortage of products. The second ...
متن کاملCoherent Predictive Inference under Exchangeability with Imprecise Probabilities (Extended Abstract)
Coherent reasoning under uncertainty can be represented in a very general manner by coherent sets of desirable gambles. This leads to a more general foundation for coherent (imprecise-)probabilistic inference that allows for indecision. In this framework, and for a given finite category set, coherent predictive inference under exchangeability can be represented using Bernstein coherent cones of...
متن کاملNumber-phase entropic uncertainty relations and Wigner functions for solvable quantum systems with discrete spectra
In this letter, the ”number-phase entropic uncertainty relation” and the ”number-phase Wigner function” of generalized coherent states associated to a few solvable quantum systems with nondegenerate spectra are studied. We also investigate time evolution of ”number-phase entropic uncertainty” and ”Wigner function” of the considered physical systems with the help of temporally stable Gazeau-Klau...
