In social choice theory, Arrow’s impossibility theorem, or Arrow’s paradox, demonstrates that no voting system can convert the ranked preferences of individuals into a community-wide ranking while also meeting a certain set of reasonable criteria with three or more discrete options to choose from...

Mathematical economist Kenneth Arrow proved (in 1952) that there is NO consistent method of making a fair choice among three or more candidates using a preferential voting method . This remarkable result assures us that there is no single preferential election procedure that can always fairly decide the outcome of an...

Downloadable! Arrow's original proof of his impossibility theorem proceeded in two steps: showing the existence of a decisive voter, and then showing that a decisive voter is a dictator. Barbera replaced the decisive voter with the weaker notion of a pivotal voter, thereby shortening the first step, but complicating the...

Arrow's impossibility theorem In voting systems, Arrow’s impossibility theorem, or Arrow’s paradox demonstrates the impossibility of designing a set of rules for social decision making that would obey every ‘reasonable’ criterion required by society.

In \cite{T}, Terao introduced an admissible map of chambers of a real central arrangement, and completely classified it. An admissible map is a generalization of a social welfare function and Terao's classification is that of Arrow's impossibility theorem in economics. In this article we consider an admissible map not...

Abstract: Arrow's (1951) Impossibility Theorem is that the social orderings of particular alternatives, that are meant to reflect individuals' preferences, must match the preferences of an arbitrary individual (the dictator).
