As for social choice functions, the Gibbard Satterthwaite theorem is well-known, which states that if a social choice function whose range contains at least three alternatives is strategy-proof, then it is dictatorial.

Alternatively, G�del showed that given the axiom of constructibility one can write down an explicit ( though somewhat complicated ) choice function ? in the language of ZFC, so in some sense the axiom of constructibility implies global choice.

The axiom of global choice cannot be stated directly in the language of ZFC ( Zermelo Fraenkel set theory with the axiom of choice ), as the choice function ? is a proper class and in ZFC one cannot quantify over classes.

When agents have general preferences represented by cardinal utility functions . the utilitarian social-choice function ( selecting the outcome that maximizes the sum of the agents'valuations ) is not strongly-monotonic but it is "'weakly monotonic " '.

The axiom of global choice states that there is a global choice function ?, meaning a function such that for every non-empty set " z ", ? ( " z " ) is an element of " z ".
27.
If we try to choose an element from each set, then, because " X " is infinite, our choice procedure will never come to an end, and consequently, we shall never be able to produce a choice function for all of " X ".

In general proofs involving the axiom of choice do not produce explicit examples of free ultrafilters, though it is possible to find explicit examples in some models of ZFC; for example, Godel showed that this can be done in the constructible universe where one can write down an explicit global choice function.

Moulin proved that it is possible to define non-dictatorial and non-manipulable social choice functions in the restricted domain of single-peaked preferences, i . e . those in which there is a unique best option, and other options are better as they are closer to the favorite one.

From the set of functions between " N " ?! " Rel ( X ) ", to the power set of " X " . ( Intuitively, the social choice function represents a societal principle for choosing one or more social outcomes based on individuals'preferences.
