Abstract

Classical social choice theory provides axiomatic modeling for collective decision making in multi-agent situations as functions of a set of profiles (i.e., tuples of transitive orderings). The celebrated Arrow’s impossibility theorem (for unanimity-and-independence-obeying preference aggregation) and the Gibbard–Satterthwaite theorem (for strategy-proof voting procedures) assume the unrestricted domain as well as the transitivity of orderings. This paper presents a distribution map of all Arrow-type aggregation rules without the unrestricted domain axiom for the two-individual three-alternative case in parallel with non-imposed strategy-proof voting procedures by using a Prolog program that systematically removes profiles in the super-Arrovian domains.
