Maximal elements of preorders from countable continuous multi-utilities
We present conditions on a topology, under which every closed preorder admits a countable continuous multi-utility representation. We compare such topological conditions with other existing conditions, which guarantee the existence of continuous utility representations of all continuous total preorders. We apply our results to the existence of maximal elements of preorders on compact metrizable topological spaces.
