Abstract

Based on the leximin and leximax preferences, we consider two threshold preference relations on the setXof alternatives, each of which is characterized by ann-dimensional vector(n ≥ 2)with integer components varying between 1 andm(m ≥ 2). We determine explicitly in terms of binomial coefficients the unique utility function for each of the two relations, which in addition mapsXonto the natural 'interval'$\{1,2, \ldots, \vert \tilde{X}\vert\}$, where$\tilde{X} = X/I$is the quotient set ofXwith respect to the indifference relationIonXinduced by the threshold preference. This permits us to evaluate all equivalence classes and indifference classes of the threshold order onX, present an algorithm of ordering the monotone representatives of indifference classes, and restore the indifference class of an alternative via its ordinal number with respect to the threshold preference order.
