Abstract

A generalized notion of lottery is considered, where the uncertainty is expressed by a belief function. Given a partial preference relation on an arbitrary set of generalized lotteries all on the same finite totally ordered set of prizes, conditions for the representability, either by a linear utility or a Choquet expected utility are provided. Both the cases of a finite and an infinite set of generalized lotteries are investigated.
