Utility function of fuzzy preferences on a countable set under max-*-transitivity

We determine, by means of max-*-transitivity, necessary and sufficient conditions for a fuzzy binary relation R defined on a countable (finite or denumerable) set A to be representable by a utility function. We display one example of its application.
