Abstract. Colle c tive and multi-criterial decision making procedures of three types where the resultant de c ision with original "estimates" as a totality of criteria or binary relations is repreaented as a) a criterion or binary relation; b) a choice func tion; and c ) a choice function with the original "eatimates" as a totality of choice functions are stadied. Keywords. Decision theory; graph theory; set theory; optimization; choice function; local operator.

INTRODUCTION Choice of the best variants from a given set is the main stage in decision making. In actual situations the variants c an be plans of sectoral development, design options, nominees for off ices, sites of future factories, etc. Whenever the varisnts are estimated in terms of a set of indices or these "estimates" are made by a collective of individuals the "private estimatea" have to be aggregated into "overall preference". The problems of aggregating individual "opinions" (represented, as a rule, as binary relations) are referr9d to as problems of collective choice and the problem of aggregating criterial estimates as problema of multi-criterial choice. Three types of procedures may be regarded as aggregation procedures. The first type maps a totality of criterial estimates {If,(X.j into an "integral" estimate ffi (X.) (such are widely known procedures of criterion convolution) or a totality of binary relations {G-i.} into a resultant relation ~~ (such procedures are treated in the theory of collective choice where the relations (;, are associated with preference relations of individuals and the relation &~ , with the overall collective "preference"). In procedures of the second type the totality of relations {Gd or of a criterion totality {!fi(X)} are mapped into the resultant choice function C ~ (X) , which makes it possible to indicate "preferable" variants on each subset X of the entire set A of admissible variants. This mapping is performed, for instance, by the Pareto choice rule with criterial estimates i(Ji(X),i.= 1., ..., n. I lJC3-J

Using choice fun c tions for theoretical description of decision making set is justified by the following important fact. }'irst, numerous actual decision making procedures can be described in terms of the properties of choice functions in a unified way, these properties making possible a plain meaningful interpretation; second, the analysis of these properties makes it possible to develop new types of procedures which can be employed in actual problems. Finally, procedures of the third type maps totality of choice functions {C.(·n into a resulting function C*(·). Such procedures have not been studied until very recently (Grether snd Plott, 1982). Let us study all the three types with the following initial notation and concepts: A ={ x •.... , Am 1, m) 2 , - is a finite set of all admissible variants; I ={ 1• ... , 11.), 11. > j , is a set of indices (individuals in the problem of c ollective choice or criteria in the problem of multi-criterial choice.

The totality of relations {G, 1~ or criteria ['i, (x)r or functions (C,(o)l~ is referred to as the profile. Relations G, are represented herea f ter by weak order relations. Ea ch auch

(::x:) so that (X,~)E G, i f and only i f f, (x) > f, (~) • The class of weak order relations is denoted as WO • The analysis can proceed in any of the following three ways: a) in terms of the properties of the procedures as mappings of the profile into the relation or criterion or choice function. Such mappings are referred to as operators. This approach makes it possible to investigate classes of procedures without fixing their specific representation; b) indicating the specific procedure such as a Pareto rule for design of the function C*(o), or a rule for design of the criterion f * (x) as a linear sum of particular criteria; and c) indicating the properties of the generated function C*Co) Let us have a closer look at the three techniques of analyzing the multi-criterial and collective choice. PROCEDURES OP THE FIRST TYPE Let us identify the class of locel operators which map the profiles 1. G, 1 into the resultant relation G* • Let V (x,~ i £G, )) denote a set of subscripts i. from I for which (X, ~ ) E G, , i . e. V(X,~;{Gd)=tt.ell(:x:,~)EGd (in the criterial case V(:x:,~; {'fd)={lEl/fJx:»fJ~)}). Definition 1. An operator F is referred to as local i f for any pair (x,~) and for any two profiles {. G, } and [G: that satisfy the condition V(:x:,~; {G-, = V (x,~; {G:}) it follows that (X,~)E G*~(X,~)EG-'''where G"= F({ G, 1) and G'" = F' ({ G-: 1) •

By the definition of locality the decision (X,~)E G* on inclusion of the pair (x,~) into the relation G* is made independently of other pairs (u, t) Let us introduce a unified way to describe local operators. Let W ~ I be a certain subset of the set of indices. Associate each ordered pair (x''i) € A x A with a list, which is a certain totality (set) of groups Q (x U)={w(X,~) w(J<,'J) 1. '4

Let us now consider list-like conatraints imposed on local operators F which perform the mapping WO -- Q, (l = i, 2,3 ) where a, is a set of a_cyclic, Qz ,of transitive, and Q3 , of negative transitive (:x:G~~ 'iG'l.~xGz)binary relations. By operators F which perform the mapping WO -- Q.. we mean the operators F which map the profiles {Gj !, G € WO J \fd ,into the relation G*€ a·l . The intersection n Q 2 n Q3 can be shown to coincide with the set of weak orders, or n 2 n Q3 = WO and the intersection n Qz ' to coincide with the set of strict partial orders, or irreflexive transitive relations. These classes Q, n Qz ,and WO are most extensively used in the theory of collective choice in decision making.

Now let us take up some corollaries of Theorem 1 for operators which satisfy the conditions 1~ , 1~ , 2°, 3 0 , and 4°. When the conditions 1~ , 1~, 20 , and 3 0 are satisfied, direct use of the list-like representation of local operators leads to formulae for design of the relation G* on the knowledge of &, from the profile. In this case G*" = U w,€ Q n i4iWs &, ,or aD,y pai; (x, ~) is included into the relation G if it is unanimously accepted by all individuala in at least one group Ws.

Proposition 2 obtained above in Corollary 1 can be formulated in terms of multicriterial choice, viz. that any local procedure of designing criterion convolution (or mapping Ui (:C) 1 - f"(x) that sa0 tisfies conditions 1~ , 1~ , 2 , and )0 results in the presence of a single subscript L" € I such that f*(x) = f,* (x) for all x EA Let ua now have alook at a nonlocal procedure of designing the relation Gfrom the profile (Gd (G, € WO, Yi) Associating every variant :J:E A with a set of m numbers tcard (V (X, ~ ; {G;\ >}Y" or the number of relations Gi (or criteria i'. ) in which variant x is "bet ter" than ~ • By the definition of the set V(x,~; fG,}) it is true that V(X,x; fGcl)=~

ann the relation G* coincides with the ordering which is obtained by using the Kramer procedure (Studied in Vol'skiy, 1982). This term is borrowed from the dynamic theory of voting (Kramer, 1977) where a similar procedure is employed. PROCEDURES OF THi SECOND TYPE This Section will be devoted to procedures of mapping the profiles tG,1 into a collective choice function C* (.) The results of Sect. 2 can be interpreted as axiomatic definition of multi-criterial choice rules. Indeed, let us consider G" = n ieI Cr, and define the choice function which associates each subset X of the set of admissible variants with a set of "preferred" ones so tha t C (X) .. = [~EX \ 13 nX: X& ..~} 'VX • I f initiall:' the variant estimates are specified in the "criterial" form (recall that it is assumed that G, € WO) Vi ), 1. e. in the form tf,(X)} then this rule can be represented in the form C*(X)=[~EX\

13xeX: fL(X»fL('i), V'i.dl • The set C* (X) is referred to a s a set of Slater optimal variants and the rule, as the Slater rule (Hurwitcz, 1958). The Pareto rule can be defined in a aimilar way but in this case the definition of locality and the procedure of designing a list-like representation must be extended. Now let us take up a ment", procedure for t ion C" (.) from the study the properties

nonlocal, "tournadesigning the funcprofile {G-i } and of this function.

The choice function C" (0) is obtained in the following way. For every X £ A the choice is made on the submatrix D,x of the tournament matrix.D associated with a given X (the matrix ~ was defined in Sect. 2). The generalized numetical index has in this case the form

and depends, unlike the tournament procedure considered above on the set X s; A aubmitted for choice. Consequently, a single-parametric family of procedures generates a single parametric family of choice functions

SE [~, <><>11 are the following choice functions: with s=l C~(·)~ Csu ".,(·), function of choice by the sum of points; with 5=<><> (·)~Ckr(·)' the Kramer choice function. In the theory of choice the choice functions sre described in terms of characteristic conditions which describe the properties of choice functions with certain distortions of the sets submitted for choice. The most widely used characteristic conditions are (Aizerman and 1Ialishevski, 1981 and the References there) ;

Many choice functions are described in terms of characteristic conditions, for instance Pareto choice functions C~r(') and only functions which satisfy conditions H,C and 0 simultaneously; scalar optimization choice functions and they alone satisfy condition Co The func tions Csu ," (. ) and Ckr (. ) do not, however, satisfy these conditions. It is therefore necessary to find the characteristic conditions for description of such choice functions. Below new characteristic conditions are introduced in which the concept of choice function superposition is employed. These characteristic conditions are intended to be used with functions which identify part of the Pareto set in problems of multi-criterial choice. The new characteristic conditions are obtained by using the relation of the function being studied, (C(·» and another choice function (E (. assuming that qx) se (X) ,'VX sA • The function C(o) is referred to hereafter as the embracing choice function and it is assumed that E(.) belorl6s to some known class of choice functions such HnCno which is generated by Pareto choice functions.

C or 0 satisfies IR and, by virtue of Theorem 5, conditions RS, SC, and ASe. In multi-criterial choice a procedure is often used whereby the choice is made according to "proximity" of the variants to some "ideal" point which is determined at each Xs; A • Such models are studied in (Aizerman and Malishevski, 1981) and Yu and Leitmonn, 1974). The procedures of designing a function C (.) of this kind are also nonlocal. The functions CC·) implemented by these procedures do not meet conditions H, C or 0 but can be described in terms of the characteristic conditions introduced in Definition 2. PROC~DURES

OF THE THIRD TYPE

The characteristic conditions listed in Definition 2 may be interpreted in simple meaningful terms. Thus IR _ in the case of the embracing function C(·) being represented as a Pareto set CPg, C·) specified that the variants which are not members in the Pareto set do not influence the choice. For the functions C(·) which are intended for identification of part of the Pareto set this condition looks natural.

Now let us take up operators which map the functional profile [C, (.) 1 into the collective choice function C*(·) This statement of the problem is of special interest in the theory of collective choice because it enables representing the initial "estimates" by individuals in a very general forrr of choice functions, not necessarily confined to pairwise comparisons of variants as was the case of the first and second types.

The Theorems below establish the relations between the characteristic conditions depending on the class in~which the embracing choice function C (.) is a member.

Corrolary. Let C(·) satisfy conditions CM and 0 • Then the function C(·) satisfies condition IRS with respect to E(.) Hf C (.) meet condition IR with respect to C(·)

Thus a decision to include variant :x: into the choice C"(X) from the set X is dependent on whether variant :x: is by indi viincluded into choice from X duals and this decision is independent of variants ~ from the set X\ {x 1

Theorem 5. Let the function C(.} meet conditions H ,C and 0 • Then for an,y function C(.) such that C(X)£C(X) conditions IR, RS, se and ASe are equivalent.

Let us introduce a unified way to describe local functional operators as their list-like representation. The list is defined for each pair (x,X) os a totality of subsets of the set 1={1"t1.1 ,i.e.

The region H (lenO in the choice function space was shown above to be generated only by Pareto functions. Then from Theorem 5 it follows that for an,y function C (.) which specifies part of the Pareto set the Theorem conditions are equivalent. Such functions are, in particular, functions of choice by a tournament matrix, which are generated by essentially nonlocal procedures.
