# CONTINUOUS ORDER REPRESENTABILITY PROPERTIES OF TOPOLOGICAL SPACES AND ALGEBRAIC STRUCTURES

• Published : 2012.05.01

#### Abstract

In the present paper, we study the relationship between continuous order-representability and the fulfillment of the usual covering properties on topological spaces. We also consider the case of some algebraic structures providing an application of our results to the social choice theory context.
