Abstract

Primarily following Bridges-Mehta (1995) and Herden-Pallack (2002), this paper is a discussion of the equivalent re-formalizations of the utility representation problem. Our contribution to this widely discussed theory of economic literature is that we consider the representation theorem as a consequence of the Urishon's lemma. Note that Debreu's celebrated Gap-lemma is not used here. It is substituted by one of the most standardized tools of the topology of early 20th century; the Nachbin's version of the Urishon's-lemma.
