| Formally if X is the [[consumption set]], then for any <math>x \in X</math> and every <math>\varepsilon>0</math>, there exists a <math>y \in X</math> such that <math>\| y-x \| \leq \varepsilon</math> and <math>y</math> is preferred to <math>x</math>.

| Several things to note are:
| |
| | |
| 1. Local nonsatiation is implied by [[monotone preferences|monotonicity of preferences]], but not vice versa. Hence it is a weaker condition.
| |
| | |
| 2. There is no requirement that the preferred bundle y contain more of any good - hence, some goods can be "bads" and preferences can be non-monotone.
| |
| | |
| 3. It rules out the extreme case where all goods are "bads", since then the point x = 0 would be a [[bliss point]].
| |
| | |
| 4. The consumption set must be either [[unbounded]] or [[open set|open]] (in other words, it cannot be [[compact space|compact]]). If it were compact it would necessarily have a bliss point, which local nonsatiation rules out.

Irwin Butts is what my spouse enjoys to call me although I don't truly like being called like that. One of the issues she loves most is to do aerobics and now she is attempting to make money with it. Managing people is his occupation. South Dakota is where me and my spouse reside and my family enjoys it.
