'x is a friend of y', 'x is at least as preferable as y', 'x is no smaller than y', etc. A binary relation R over a set X mayor may not satisfy certain properties. Among the properties that have been discussed, the following are most relevant of our purposes. Notations used below: 'fI = for any; E = belongs to; ':' = such that; Y = or (does not preclude the possibility that both are true); ~ = implies; <0> = implies and is implied by (Le.
P, may be traced from the point Q. The point P again fixes a point E on the contract curve, and hence the amounts of both goods going to both individuals are known. 3 also specifies that OM of X and ON of Yare to be produced. 1 (interpreting the indifference curves as isoquants), we know which two isoquants are to be selected. The tangency of these two isoquants then determines the amounts of both factors to be allocated to the production of the two goods. 4 depict the first-order conditions for Pareto optimality.
Obviously, I stands for indifference and P for preference. If the preference relation R over X is an order, can it be represented by a real-valued order-preserving function U such that U(x) ;;:. 1 xRy yRx Holds Holds Defined as x/y Holds Does not hold Defined as xPy Does not hold Holds Defined as yPx Does not hold Does not hold Violates completeness xRy? ) Somewhat surprisingly, the answer to the question above is 'not necessarily'. If X is a finite (or infinite but countable) set, then the required U function always exists.
