Summary: We generalize a set of axioms introduced by Rubin (1987) to the case of partial preference. That is, we consider cases in which not all uncertain acts are comparable to each other. We demonstrate some relations between these axioms and a decision theory based on sets of probability/utility pairs. We illustrate by example how comparisons solely between pairs of acts is not sufficient to distinguish between decision makers who base their choices on distinct sets of probability/utility pairs.For the entire collection see [Zbl 1066.62002].
