Preference Representation via Pareto Dominance

Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of an Order isomorphism from a given preference relation to Euclidean n-dimensional space ordered by Pareto dominance. This result provides representation for some preference relations not representable by utility functions. It also helps categorize preference relations; for each n it partitions the set of preference relations into a representable class and a non-representable class.
