Abstract: In thib paper we provide Lagrangean conditions in a problem generalenough to encompass both the classical quasiconcave optimization problemand the maximization of binary relations.The formal results are applied to consumer theory, providinganalytical characterizations of the solution to the consumer problem insome cases where preferences are not representable by continuous utilityfunctions.
