Lexicographic Products of Linear Orderings
… alpha such that L can be order-embedded into the lexicographic power Malex . The case M = R is relevant to utility theory, a branch of mathematical economics. First we characterize lexicographic products whose representability number in R is 1. Next we prove the following results: (i) if kappa is …

A lexicographic study of Ulwa
… multi-word verbal idioms. The thesis is a lexicographic study because the aim is to present information sufficient for a reasonable understanding of the lexical entries of the language, as represented in the included dictionary.

Preference inference based on lexicographic and Pareto models
… qualitative preference models that are based on lexicographic and Pareto orders. We consider user preference statements that are given in the form of comparisons of alternatives or alternative sets. For some model types and preference statements we formulate efficient algorithms; for others we …

The construction of a linguistic linked data framework for bilingual lexicographic resources
Little-known lexicographic resources can be of tremendous value to users once digitised. By extending the digitisation efforts for a lexicographic resource, converting the human readable digital object to a state that is also machine-readable, structured data can be created that is semantically …

An application of behavioral decision theory to recreation site selection
… fields of psychology and consumer behavior, a lexicographic semi-order model was selected and tested for applicability in approximating recreation site choices. Testinq this model required initial work in deciding upon physical, social, and managerial attributes of a recreation site which may …

Sensitivity analysis for nonsmooth dynamic systems
… generalized derivatives. Firstly, Nesterov's lexicographic derivatives are shown to be elements of the plenary hull of Clarke's generalized Jacobian whenever they exist. Lexicographic derivatives thus provide useful local sensitivity information for use in numerical methods for nonsmooth …

Inferring noncompensatory choice heuristics
… with a choice heuristic (e.g., a noncompensatory lexicographic decision rule). We analyze the computational complexity of several inference related problems, showing that while some are easy due to possessing a greedoid language structure, many are hard and likely do not have polynomial time …

Essays in organization formation and decision making
… et al. (2001). I use choice correspondences by lexicographic semiorders that are generalizations of the choice functions defined in Manzini and Mariotti (2012). I also provide a method constructing lexicographic semiorders for choosing from ambiguous acts.

Topics in access, storage, and sensor networks
… of graphs and its new variant which we call the lexicographic direct product (or the clique product). We show that invariants concerning transposable walks in direct graph powers and transposable independent sets in graph families generated by the lexicographic direct product are …

Harvesting behavior of perennial cash crops: a decision theoretic study
… theory, expected profit maximization, and a lexicographic safety-first model were used to predict farmer behavior. The expected utility approach used the exponential utility function, the quadratic utility function, and the cubic utility function. The lexicographic safety-first model …

Conditional Preference Networks: Constraints, Genuine Decision, and Aggregation
… to capture the preferences. On the other hand, a Lexicographic Preference Tree (LP-tree) represents user's conditional lexicographic preferences. This thesis contributes to the models listed above. First, solving the Constrained CP-net model, a CP-net augmented to a set of hard constraints, …

D-Spaces and L-Special Trees

Rationality or irrationality of preferences? A quantitative test of intransitive decision heuristics
… that permit intransitive preferences: the lexicographic semiorder model and the similarity model. I also compare these two intransitive decision heuristics with transitive linear order models and two simple transitive heuristics. For each decision theory, I use two types of probabilistic …

Pictorial illustrations in dictionaries
