isolines

Unfortunately, Monsanto doesn't usually make the similar varieties (isolines) available for research.

On weather maps, pressure is indicated by drawing isolines of pressure, called isobars, at regular 4 millibar intervals (e.g., 996 mb, 1000 mb, 1004 mb, etc.).

The shape of the utility isolines depends, in addition, on the relation between the commodities.

The pure geometry of Edgeworth's diagram led Fisher to note that in order to determine the optimal budget distribution we do not need to know how many utils each isoline represents: the knowledge of the isolines as such suffices.

Obviously, for the optimal budget distribution to be unique the utility isolines must be convex toward

Clearly, with isolines having the shape shown in Figure 2, all other possible distributions of John's budget lie on lower isolines.

The convexity of the isolines had to be added as a new axiom for which no transparent explanation has yet been offered.

And once the indifference curves are deter - mined, they help determine the optimal distribution of any budget in exactly the same manner as the utility isolines.

I've exhumed some of last year's thinking on heat maps, and re-encountered Zach and Andy's excellent series of posts on geographic isolines.
