Basic utility function

Japanese: 基礎効用関数 - きそこうようかんすう
Basic utility function

...A function that converts the utility of things, energy, information, services, etc. into a numerical value.

When you consider object x to be equal to or greater than object y, you say that you prefer x to y, and express this as x ≿ y. A preference relation is one that defines preferences for all possible pairs of two objects. For any three objects x, y, and z, if x ≿ y and y ≿ z, then the preference relation is said to satisfy the transitivity law. ...
