Abstract
We introduce a new kind of representation of a not necessarily total preorder, called strong multi-utility representation, according to which not only the preorder itself but also its strict part is fully represented by a family of multi-objective functions. The representability by means of semicontinuous or continuous multi-objective functions is discussed, as well as the relation between the existence of a strong multi-utility representation and the existence of a Richter-Peleg utility function. We further present conditions for the existence of a semicontinuous or continuous countable strong multi-utility representation.
