Separation Theorems and Expected Utilities.

Abstract

This paper presents a number of separation theorems for linear spaces, then explores the relationships between these theorems and expected utility theory. Three topics in expected utility are discussed: axioms for expected utility; unanimous expectations; and revealed preference and indifference in situations of decision making under risk. (Author)
