%0 Journal Article %T Un'applicazione della teoria dei semigruppi ordinati nell'ambito della teoria delle decisioni %A Elisabetta Allevi %J Le Matematiche %D 1996 %I University of Catania %X In this paper we introduce in the semigroup S, whose elements are to be evalued in terms of preference in a particular situation, a pre-order defined through semigroups of S. Then this pre-order is a preference relation with transitive indifference, which can be represented by a utility function. %K Semigroups %K Partially ordered semigroups %K Utility function %U http://www.dmi.unict.it/ojs/index.php/lematematiche/article/view/454
