  2. Lexicographic preferences - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicographic_preferences

    Lexicographic preferences are the classical example of rational preferences that are not representable by a utility function. Proof: suppose by contradiction that there exists a utility function U representing lexicographic preferences, e.g. over two goods. Then U(x,1)>U(x,0) must hold, so the intervals [U(x,0),U(x,1)] must have a non-zero width.

  3. Convexity in economics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convexity_in_economics

    For example, a solid cube is convex; however, anything that is hollow or dented, for example, a crescent shape, is non‑convex. Trivially , the empty set is convex. More formally, a set Q is convex if, for all points v 0 and v 1 in Q and for every real number λ in the unit interval [0,1] , the point

  4. Edgeworth box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgeworth_box

    This is a line connecting Octavio's origin (O) to Abby's (A). An example is shown in Fig. 6, where the purple line is the Pareto set corresponding to the indifference curves for the two consumers. The vocabulary used to describe different objects which are part of the Edgeworth box diverges.

  5. Maximum theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_theorem

    The maximum theorem provides conditions for the continuity of an optimized function and the set of its maximizers with respect to its parameters. The statement was first proven by Claude Berge in 1959. [1] The theorem is primarily used in mathematical economics and optimal control.

  6. Line length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_length

    In typography, line length is the width of a block of typeset text, usually measured in units of length like inches or points or in characters per line (in which case it is a measure). A block of text or paragraph has a maximum line length that fits a determined design. If the lines are too short then the text becomes disjointed; if they are ...

  7. Drawdown (economics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawdown_(economics)

    The drawdown duration is the length of any peak to peak period, or the time between new equity highs. The max drawdown duration is the worst (the maximum/longest) amount of time an investment has seen between peaks (equity highs). Many assume Max DD Duration is the length of time between new highs during which the Max DD (magnitude) occurred.

  8. List of limits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_limits

    In general, any infinite series is the limit of its partial sums. For example, an analytic function is the limit of its Taylor series, within its radius of convergence. = =. This is known as the harmonic series. [6]

  9. Limit (category theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_(category_theory)

    The limit of F is any object that is uniquely factored through by every other object. This is just the definition of a terminal object. Products. If J is a discrete category then a diagram F is essentially nothing but a family of objects of C, indexed by J. The limit L of F is called the product of these objects.
