The Theory of Representative Majority Decision
Abstract
[A general definition of majority decision in terms of a hierarchy of voting councils has been given by Murakami [3, 4]. The present article establishes a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for Murakami's majority decision or representative system in terms of properties of a group decision function for two alternatives. One corollary of the general theorem is Murakami's conjecture, which says that if a group decision function is dual, strongly monotonic, and nondictatorial, then it is a representative system.]
