For incomplete preference relations that are represented by multiple priors and/or multiple—possibly multivariate—utility functions, we define a certainty equivalent as well as the utility indifference price bounds as set-valued functions of the claim. Furthermore, we motivate and introduce the notion of a weak and a strong certainty equivalent. We will show that our definitions contain as special

Fire sales and default contagion are two of the main drivers of systemic risk in financial networks.
