摘要:A seminal paper by May characterizes the majority rule in terms of
anonymity, neutrality, and positive responsiveness. Since
then, there have been many characterizations of the majority rule
using different axioms by several authors. In this paper, we will
introduce the concept of a continuous majority rule which
generalizes the previous social welfare functions beyond the
discrete values, and using new axioms, we will give a
characterization of the continuous majority rule.
