摘要：

This paper addresses the problem of the existence of utility representations on totally ordered sets (chains). Sufficient conditions about the non-representability of chains by real-valued utility functions are given. Chains lacking a continuous utility representation are also considered and it is shown that no total ordering on R(n) (n > 1) can be represented by a continuous utility function.
