Utilitarian economists use the term ‘utility’ carefully, but as was mentioned above there are two distinct views of it: the ‘satisfaction/happiness’ view and the ‘desire-fulfilment’ view. The happiness approach goes back to Bentham and has been used extensively by Marshall (1890), Pigou (1920) and others.

Utility as an Additive Set Function
Mathematics of Operations Research, 1992Foundations for additive models of subset evaluation are stated by axioms for a preference relation on a family S of subsets of X that cover X. The axiomatizations include cases in which S is arbitrary, S contains only finite subsets of X, and S is the set of all subsets of X. Expected utility with subsets as outcomes is also considered.

MONEY AND THE WALRASIAN UTILITY FUNCTION
Oxford Economic Papers, 1983There is a conflict in Walras' 'Elements of Pure Economics' between the literary and mathematical treatment of the utility of money. This paper outlines this conflict and suggests that the clear cut treatment of Walras which may be found in much of the literature is in fact too simplistic to represent Walras' views.

Time functions as utility functions
2011It is shown that the problem of the existence of a time function or of a semi-time function in general relativity is mathematically equivalent to that of the existence of a continuous utility function for an agent in microeconomics. Some theorems developed in economics can therefore be used in general relativity.

Quasi‐separable utility functions
Naval Research Logistics Quarterly, 1968AbstractThis paper is concerned with a method for the assessment of utility functions of multi‐numeraire consequences. It is proven that given von Neumann and Morgenstern's axioms of “rational behavior” and two additional assumptions, the utility function for (x, y) consequences can be written as U(x, y) = Ux(x) + Uy(y) + KUx(x) Uy(y).K is a constant ...
