Abstract
In the present paper, we propose a new approach on ‘distributed systems’: the processes are represented through total orders and the communications are characterized by means of biorders. The resulting distributed systems capture situations met in various fields (such as computer science, economics and decision theory). We investigate questions associated to the numerical representability of order structures, relating concepts of economics and computing to each other. The concept of ‘quasi-finite partial orders’ is introduced as a finite family of chains with a communication between them. The representability of this kind of structure is studied, achieving a construction method for a finite (continuous) Richter–Peleg multi-utility representation.
期刊介绍：
The Bulletin of the Iranian Mathematical Society (BIMS) publishes original research papers as well as survey articles on a variety of hot topics from distinguished mathematicians. Research papers presented comprise of innovative contributions while expository survey articles feature important results that appeal to a broad audience. Articles are expected to address active research topics and are required to cite existing (including recent) relevant literature appropriately. Papers are critically reviewed on the basis of quality in its exposition, brevity, potential applications, motivation, value and originality of the results. The BIMS takes a high standard policy against any type plagiarism. The editorial board is devoted to solicit expert referees for a fast and unbiased review process.
