A note on ordinal concavity

  • Conference paper
Generalized Convexity

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems ((LNE,volume 405))

Abstract

We introduce a new characterization of functions defined over lattices providing a necessary condition for their quasiconcavity according to the “Ordinal Concavity” approach.

Partially supported by M.U.R.S.T. and C.N.R.
