Abstract
For a weakly monotone (resp., strongly monotone) upper order hemicontinuous correspondence , where is a complete lattice (resp., a -complete lattice), we provide tight fixed-point bounds for sufficiently large iterations , starting from any point . Our results, hence, prove a generalization of the Tarski–Kantorovich theorem. We provide an application of our results to a class of social learning models on networks.
期刊介绍:
The primary objective of the Journal is to provide a forum for work in economic theory which expresses economic ideas using formal mathematical reasoning. For work to add to this primary objective, it is not sufficient that the mathematical reasoning be new and correct. The work must have real economic content. The economic ideas must be interesting and important. These ideas may pertain to any field of economics or any school of economic thought.
