Description
Summary:In this paper, we deal with continuous multi-utility representations for closed preorders. We introduce the definition of a <i>net-compact topology</i>, which generalizes the concept of a sequentially compact topology. Indeed, a sequentially compact and first countable topological space is net-compact. First, we show that if every closed preorder on a net-compact Hausdorff topological space has a continuous multi-utility representation, then the topology is normal. Second, we prove that every closed preorder on a normal and net-compact Hausdorff topological space admits a continuous multi-utility representation.
