Condorcet choice functions and maximal elements
نویسندگان
چکیده
Choice functions on tournaments always select the maximal element (Condorcet winner), provided they exist, but this property does not hold in the more general case of weak tournaments. In this paper we analyze the relationship between the usual choice functions and the set of maximal elements in weak tournaments. We introduce choice functions selecting maximal elements, whenever they exist. Moreover, we compare these choice functions with those that already exist in the literature.

Condorcet Domains, Median Graphs and the Single Crossing Property
Condorcet domains are sets of linear orders with the property that, whenever the preferences of all voters belong to this set, the majority relation has no cycles. We observe that, without loss of generality, such domain can be assumed to be closed in the sense that it contains the majority relation of every profile with an odd number of individuals whose preferences belong to this domain. We s...
متن کاملMaximal elements of sub-topical functions with applications to global optimization
We study the support sets of sub-topical functions and investigate their maximal elements in order to establish a necessary and sufficient condition for the global minimum of the difference of two sub-topical functions.
متن کاملPlurality Mechanisms, Virtual Implementation, and Condorcet-Decisiveness
We investigate implementation of social choice functions as mappings from states to lotteries under complete information. We assume that for every agent, any pair of distinct states induces distinct preferences. A social choice function is called Condorcet-decisive if it always enforces the Condorcet winner among its range. We introduce plurality mechanisms, where each agent makes a single anno...
متن کاملThe Condorcet set: Majority voting over interconnected propositions
Judgement aggregation is a model of social choice in which the space of social alternatives is the set of consistent evaluations (‘views’) on a family of logically interconnected propositions, or yes/no-issues. Yet, simply complying with the majority opinion in each issue often yields a logically inconsistent collection of judgements. Thus, we consider the Condorcet set: the set of logically co...
متن کاملSet-monotonicity implies Kelly-strategyproofness
This paper studies the strategic manipulation of set-valued social choice functions according to Kelly’s preference extension, which prescribes that one set of alternatives is preferred to another if and only if all elements of the former are preferred to all elements of the latter. It is shown that set-monotonicity—a new variant of Maskin-monotonicity—implies Kellystrategyproofness in comprehe...
