چکیده
We characterize weak continuity of an interval order on a topological space (X, τ) by using the concept of a scale in a topological space. Mathematics Subject Classification: 06A06; 54F05; 91B16

Continuity, completeness and the definition of weak preferences
This note explores the connections between continuity and completeness under alternative conceptions of preference relations. For non-trivial preorders, it shows that, unlike the standard definitions, the weak preference relation defined in Galaabataar and Karni (2010) allows for incomplete preferences while maintaining all the continuity properties of complete preference relations. It also mak...
متن کاملUNCERTAINTY DATA CREATING INTERVAL-VALUED FUZZY RELATION IN DECISION MAKING MODEL WITH GENERAL PREFERENCE STRUCTURE
The paper introduces a new approach to preference structure, where from a weak preference relation derive the following relations:strict preference, indifference and incomparability, which by aggregations and negations are created and examined. We decomposing a preference relation into a strict preference, anindifference, and an incomparability relation.This approach allows one to quantify diff...
متن کاملThe transitive core: inference of welfare from nontransitive preference relations
This paper studies welfare criteria under an environment in which a decision maker is endowed with a nontransitive preference relation. In such an environment, the classical utilitarian welfare criterion may not identify the welfare order, and the problem of maximizing the decision maker’s welfare becomes ambiguous. In order to find a criterion that applies to nontransitive preference relations...
متن کاملClosure Properties of Independence Concepts for Continuous Utilities
This paper examines nine independence concepts for ordinal and expected utilities: utility and preference independence, weak separability (a uniqueness of nonstrict conditional preferences), as well as generalizations that allow for complete indifference or reversal of preferences. Some of these conditions are closed under set-theoretic operations, which simplifies the verification of such assu...
متن کاملModeling Qualitative Assessments under the Belief Function Framework
This paper investigates the problem of preference modeling under the belief function framework. In this work, we introduce a new model that is able to generate quantitative information from qualitative assessments. Therefore, we suggest to represent the decision maker preferences in different levels where the indifference, strict preference, weak preference and incompleteness relations are cons...
