A remark on utility streams

TL;DR

This paper examines finite utility streams under specific axioms, providing insights into their properties and implications for decision-making over such streams.

Contribution

It introduces new axioms for analyzing arbitrarily long but finite utility streams, offering a novel perspective on their structure and evaluation.

Findings

Characterization of utility streams under the proposed axioms

Implications for decision theory involving finite utility streams

Foundational insights into utility stream properties

Abstract

We consider arbitrarily long, but finite utility streams, and some appropriate axioms.
