Current neural network architectures have no mechanism for explicitly reasoning about item trade-offs. Such trade-offs are important for popular tasks such as recommendation. The main idea of this work is to give neural networks inductive biases that are inspired by economic theories.

Understanding the TCP congestion control mechanism from a global optimization point of view is not only important in its own right, but also crucial to the design of other transport layer traffic control protocols with provable properties. In this paper, we derive a global utility function and the corresponding optimal control law, known as TCP control

Multivariable Utility Functions
SIAM Journal on Optimization, 2009Utility functions of several variables are ubiquitous in economics. Their maximization requires inversion of the gradient map. Using convex analysis tools, we provide a representation of an extension of this inverse that accounts for possible constraints.

A Class of Utility Functions Containing all the Common Utility Functions
Management Science, 1987This paper presents a class of utility functions (class A∞) that contains all of the utility functions commonly used for mathematical modeling: the class consisting of those utility functions whose derivatives alternate in sign. A simple representation via mixtures of exponential utilities is provided for this class which is both mathematically ...

Multiplicative Utility Functions
Operations Research, 1974This paper presents sufficient conditions for a multiattribute utility function to be either multiplicative or additive. The number of requisite assumptions to imply the main result is equal to the number of attributes. Because the assumptions involve only trade-offs between two attributes at a time or lotteries over one attribute, it is reasonable to

North American Actuarial Journal, 1998
This article is a self-contained survey of utility functions and some of their applications. Throughout the paper the theory is illustrated by three examples: exponential utility functions, power utility functions of the first kind (such as quadratic utility functions), and power utility functions of the second kind (such as the logarithmic utility ...

Money-Metric Utility Functions
International Economic Review, 1985The paper considers a function \(M_ p(x)\) that specifies the minimum income needed at prices p to obtain a consumption vector preferred to x. This function is called a money metric. Sufficient conditions on the consumption set, on the preference relation, and on the prices are given ensuring that the money metric is a well-defined and continuous ...

Double-Exponential Utility Functions
Mathematics of Operations Research, 1986Ordinal additivity between two attributes X and Y is a property that permits the utility function u(x, y) to be represented as ϕ(v(x) + w(y)) for some functions ϕ, v and w where ϕ may be thought of as a single attribute utility function over v + w. In applications ϕ is usually taken to be either linear (the additive decomposition) or exponential (the ...
