Many economics problems are maximization or minimization problems, and can be formalized as problems of solving “linear difference systems” of the form <InlineEquation ID="Equ1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$r_i-r_j \geqq c_{ij}$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> and r <Subscript> k </Subscript>-r <Subscript> l </Subscript> c <Subscript> kl </Subscript>, for r-unknowns, with given c-constants. They typically involve strict as well as weak...</subscript></subscript></subscript></equationsource></inlineequation>

We prove that, for finitely many demand observations, the Strong Axiom of Revealed Preference tests not only the existence of a strictly concave, strictly monotone and continuous utility generator, but also one that generates an infinitely differentiable demand function. Our results extend those...
