A necessary and … sufficient condition (A) on the pairs (u, μ) and (v, ν) will be presented for dichotomous weak increased uncertainty aversion … indifferent. Condition A is thus a characterization of weak increased uncertainty aversion for convex f. An example will be …

We study, in the Anscombe …-Aumann setting a wide class of preferences, that includes most known models of decision under uncertainty (and state …".
