Utility functions on indivisible goods
Some branches of economics and game theory deal with indivisible goods – discrete items that can be traded only as a whole. For example, in combinatorial auctions there is a finite set of items, and every agent can buy a subset of the items, but an item cannot be divided between two or more agents.
It is usually assumed that every agent assigns subjective utility to every subset of the items. This can be represented by one of two ways:
* An ordinal utility preference relation, usually marked by \succ. The fact that an agent prefers a set A to a set B is written A \succ B. If the agent only weakly prefers A (i.e. either prefers A or is indifferent between A and B) then this is written A \succeq B.
* A cardinal utility function, usually marked by u. The utility an agent gets from a set A is written u(A). Cardinal utility functions are often normalized such that u(\emptyset)=0, where \emptyset is the empty set.
A cardinal utility function implies a preference relation: u(A)>u(B) implies A \succ B and u(A)\geq u(B) implies A \succeq B.
Utility functions can have several properties.
== Monotonicity ==
Monotonicity means that an agent always (weakly) prefers to have extra items. Formally:
* For a preference relation: A\supseteq B implies A \succeq B.
* For a utility function: A\supseteq B implies u(A) \geq B (i.e. ''u'' is a monotone function).
Monotonicity is equivalent to the free disposal assumption: if an agent may always discard unwanted items, then extra items can never decrease the utility.
