Utility representations of preference relations in symmetric topological spaces have the advantage of fully characterising these relations. But, this is not true in the case of representations of preference relations that are mostly…

Let $X$ be an arbitrary set. Then a topology $t$ on $X$ is said to be completely useful if every upper semicontinuous linear (total) preorder $\precsim$ on $X$ can be represented by an upper semicontinuous real-valued order preserving…

In the present paper a new concept of representability is introduced, which can be applied to not total and also to intransitive relations (semiorders in particular). This idea tries to represent the orderings in the simplest manner,…

We present several equivalent conditions of the continuity of the supremum function from the square of the Scott space of $C(X)$ to itself under mild assumptions, where $C(X)$ denotes the lattice of closed subsets of a $\mathbf{T_0}$…

Let $\mathfrak{P}$ be a topological property. We study the relation between the order structure of the set of all $\mathfrak{P}$-extensions of a completely regular space $X$ with compact remainder (partially ordered by the standard partial…

In this paper we focus our efforts on studying how a preorder and topology can be made compatible. Thus we provide a characterization of those that are continuous-compatible. Such a characterization states that such topologies must be finer…

A mixture preorder is a preorder on a mixture space (such as a convex set) that is compatible with the mixing operation. In decision theoretic terms, it satisfies the central expected utility axiom of strong independence. We consider when a…

We characterize the existence of a nonnegative, sublinear and continuous order-preserving function for a not necessarily complete preorder on a real convex cone in an arbitrary topological real vector space. As a corollary of the main…

The aim of this short note is to develop a (co)homology theory for topological spaces together with the specialisation preorder. A known way to construct such a (co)homology is to define a partial order on the topological space starting…

This paper provides a general characterization of preferences that admit a Richter-Peleg representation without imposing completeness or transitivity. We establish that a binary relation on a nonempty set admits a Richter-Peleg…

Lower semi-continuity (\texttt{LSC}) is a critical assumption in many foundational optimisation theory results; however, in many cases, \texttt{LSC} is stronger than necessary. This has led to the introduction of numerous weaker continuity…

We say a model is continuous in utilities (resp., preferences) if small perturbations of utility functions (resp., preferences) generate small changes in the model's outputs. While similar, these two questions are different. They are only…

A specialization semilattice is a join semilattice together with a coarser preorder $ \sqsubseteq $ satisfying an appropriate compatibility condition. If $X$ is a topological space, then $(\mathcal P(X), \cup, \sqsubseteq )$ is a…

Topology optimization for large scale problems continues to be a computational challenge. Several works exist in the literature to address this topic, and all make use of iterative solvers to handle the linear system arising from the Finite…

Consider the problem of minimizing a lower semi-continuous semi-algebraic function $f \colon \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R} \cup \{+\infty\}$ on an unbounded closed semi-algebraic set $S \subset \mathbb{R}^n.$ Employing adequate tools of…

Motivated by the Hilbert-space model for quantum mechanics, we define a pre-Hilbert space logic to be a pair $(S,\el)$, where $S$ is a pre-Hilbert space and $\el$ is an orthocomplemented poset of orthogonally closed linear subspaces of $S$,…

We give conditions under which a product of topological spaces satisfies some local property. The conditions are necessary and sufficient when the corresponding global property is preserved under finite products. Further examples include…

The problem of finding a (continuous) utility function for a semiorder has been studied since in 1956 R.D. Luce introduced in \emph{Econometrica} the notion. There was almost no results on the continuity of the representation. A similar…

In this note, we give a new necessary condition for the existence of non-trivial partitions of a finite vector space. Precisely, we prove that, if V is a finite vector space over a field of order q, then the number of the subspaces of…

Motivated by the model theory of higher order logics, a certain kind of topological spaces had been introduced on ultraproducts. These spaces are called ultratopologies. Ultratopologies provide a natural extra topological structure for…
