Abstract

Graph We are sorry to report that Peter C. Fishburn died on June 10, 2021, in Racine, Wisconsin. In that paper, Fishburn gives a new proof of the theorem and explains issues in the literature with the correctness of the theorem. In paper (Fishburn & Gehrlein, [13]), Fishburn and Gehrlein discuss the propensities of different voting procedures to elect the simple majority candidate when one exists in a multicandidate election. For example, papers (Fishburn, [5]) and (Fishburn, [7]) deal with subjective expected utility theory. [Extracted from the article]
