Dice games and Arrows theorem
We observe that non-transitivity is not the most general way that Arrows impossibility theorem is reected in dice games. Non-transitivity in dice games is a well-known phenomenon. It was described in several Scienti c American columns in the 1970s, beginning with [3], and has since become a popular topic, discussed in articles like [4, 5] and textbooks on elementary mathematics and probabilit...
متن کاملArrow’s Impossibility Theorem
Let A, B′ be non empty sets, let B be a non empty subset of B ′, let f be a function from A into B, and let x be an element of A. Then f(x) is an element of B. Next we state two propositions: (1) For every finite set A such that cardA ≥ 2 and for every element a of A there exists an element b of A such that b 6= a. (2) Let A be a finite set. Suppose cardA ≥ 3. Let a, b be elements of A. Then th...
متن کاملAn Impossibility Theorem for Clustering
Although the study of clustering is centered around an intuitively compelling goal, it has been very difficult to develop a unified framework for reasoning about it at a technical level, and profoundly diverse approaches to clustering abound in the research community. Here we suggest a formal perspective on the difficulty in finding such a unification, in the form of an impossibility theorem: f...
متن کاملAn impossibility theorem for verisimilitude
In this paper, we show that Arrow’s well-known impossibility theorem is instrumental in bringing the ongoing discussion about verisimilitude to amore general level of abstraction. After some preparatory technical steps, we show that Arrow’s requirements for voting procedures in social choice are also natural desiderata for a general verisimilitude definition that places content and likeness con...
متن کاملArrow's Impossibility Theorem Without Unanimity
Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem states that any constitution which satisfies Transitivity, Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives (IIA) and Unanimity is a dictatorship. Wilson derived properties of constitutions satisfying Transitivity and IIA for unrestricted domains where ties are allowed. In this paper we consider the case where only strict preferences are allowed. In this case we derive a ne...
