Arrow's Theorem for incomplete relations

چکیده

Let U be a set with three or more elements, let W be the set of weak orderings of U, let T be the set of total orderings of U, and let f be an n-ary function mapping Wn to W. Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem asserts that if f satisfies Arrow’s Condition P (“Pareto”) and Condition 3 (“independence of irrelevant alternatives”) then f is a projection function on total orderings, i. e., there is some k ∈ {1, . . . , n} such that f (R1, . . . ,Rn) = Rk for all total orderings R1, . . . ,Rn ∈ T . Th. If a transitive-valued multivariate relational operator f satisfies “unidirectional” (and stronger) versions of Arrow’s Conditions P and 3, and maps all profiles from a diverse set R of binary relations on U to transitive relations on U, then f must be the unanimous consent function for some set of input variables, and if R is very diverse then f is a projection function.

Arrow’s Social Ordering as Moral Obligation

This paper aimed to prove that Arrow's Theorem is meant not only to formulate a social decision process but also to clarify moral rules or a " modus vivendi " in an objective, scientific way. In order to achieve this aim, the paper traced the theoretical development of Arrow's theory through a look at the argument between Arrow and (among others) Bergson and Little.

INCOMPLETE INTERVAL-VALUED HESITANT FUZZY PREFERENCE RELATIONS IN DECISION MAKING

In this article, we propose a method to deal with incomplete interval-valuedhesitant fuzzy preference relations. For this purpose, an additivetransitivity inspired technique for interval-valued hesitant fuzzypreference relations is formulated which assists in estimating missingpreferences. First of all, we introduce a condition for decision makersproviding incomplete information. Decision maker...

Arrow ' s Theorem with a Fixed Feasible Alternative *

Arrow's Theorem, in its social choice function formulation, assumes that all nonempty finite subsets of the universal set of alternatives is potentially a feasible set. We demonstrate that the axioms in Arrow's Theorem, with weak Pareto strengthened to strong Pareto, are consistent if it is assumed that there is a prespecified alternative which is in every feasible set. We further show that if ...

Intradimensional Single-Peakedness and the Multidimensional Arrow Problem

Arrow's account (1951/1963) of the problem of social choice is based upon the assumption that the preferences of each individual in the relevant group are expressible by a single ordering. This paper lifts that assumption and develops a multidimensional generalization of Arrow's framework. I show that, like Arrow's original framework, the multidimensional generalization is affected by an imposs...

Fuzzy Rationality as a Basis for Group Decision Making

This paper deals with the group decision making problem, assuming that each individual defines his/her opinion through fuzzy binary preference relations, in parallel to the classical approach due to Prof. Arrow. In particular, it is postulated that the main reason for the discouraging impossibility theorems is neither in the domain of admissible preferences or in the concept of solution (Social...
