In economics, the concept ofrelations is applied to the consumer choice problem. The number of commoditiesis finite and equal to nn. Eachcommodity is measured in some infinitely divisible units. Let x=(x1,…,xn)∈\[R_+^n\]be a consumption bundle. Let \[R_+^n\] be a consumption set that is the set of bundles the consumer canconceive. We represent the consumer's preferences by a binary relation, ⪰, defined on the consumption set,\[R_+^n\] . If x⪰x′, we say that "x is at least as good as x′′"for this consumer.
Definition 5 The binary relation ≻ on X is said to be strict preference relation if, x≻x′ if and only if x≻x′ but x′⊁x.
Definition 6 The binary relation ~ on X is said to be indifference relation if, x~x′ if and only if x⪰x′ and x′⪰x.
Exercise Show the following:
- ⪰ on \[R_+^n\]is reflexive if it is complete.
- ⪰ on \[R_+^n\]is not symmetric.
- ~ on \[R_+^n\]is symmetric.
