A Desirability-Based Axiomatisation for Coherent Choice Functions
Choice functions constitute a simple, direct and very general mathematical framework for modelling choice under uncertainty. In particular, they are able to represent the set-valued choices that typically arise from applying decision rules to imprecise-probabilistic uncertainty models. We provide them with a clear interpretation in terms of attitudes towards gambling, borrowing ideas from the theory of sets of desirable gambles, and we use this interpretation to derive a set of basic axioms. We show that these axioms lead to a full-fledged theory of coherent choice functions, which includes a representation in terms of sets of desirable gambles, and a conservative inference method.

Interpreting, axiomatising and representing coherent choice functions in terms of desirability
Choice functions constitute a simple, direct and very general mathematical framework for modelling choice under uncertainty. In particular, they are able to represent the set-valued choices that appear in imprecise-proba…
Decision MakingDesirability and the birth of incomplete preferences
We establish an equivalence between two seemingly different theories: one is the traditional axiomatisation of incomplete preferences on horse lotteries based on the mixture independence axiom; the other is the theory of…
Comparing Scalar Objective Functions for Multi-Criteria Engineering Optimization
Scalar objective functions are required when a multi-criteria optimization problem must yield a single preferred design rather than only a Pareto set. The choice of scalarization influences which compromise is selected, …
Information algebras of coherent sets of gambles in general possibility spaces
In this paper, we show that coherent sets of gambles can be embedded into the algebraic structure of information algebra. This leads firstly, to a new perspective of the algebraic and logical structure of desirability an…
Multi-Objective Optimization and Hyperparameter Tuning With Desirability Functions
The goal of this article is to provide an introduction to the desirability function approach to multi-objective optimization (direct and surrogate model-based), and multi-objective hyperparameter tuning. This work is bas…
