The Greatest Common Decision Maker: A Novel Conflict and Consensus Analysis Compared with Other Voting Procedures

“…Additionally, we shall say we have a consensus when the aggregated collective preference imposes a linear order over the objects, and a conflict when there no such linear-selected preference exists. Moreover, we are not considering any consistency or consensus in any linguistic, fuzzy, or social network large-group decision making process during the CRP. Agents are autonomous, have their utility functions, and look for their benefit only, and they are not looking to maximize the complete group social choice function [54][55][56][57]. Otherwise, agents are self-interested, and each one would like to obtain the decision that maximizes its utility [56].…”

“…. , x n } = {alternatives x i }, n > 0) ranked or ordered by agents or decision makers [2,8,20,23,56,57,59,60,74] (see Figure 3). We found that Arrowś theorem can be represented with the appliance of conflict matrices.…”

“…Alternatives is a set of n objects or situations (X = {x1, x2, …, xn} = {alternatives xi}, n > 0) ranked or ordered by agents or decision makers [2,8,20,23,56,57,59,60,74] (see Figure 3). Agents or decision makers are a panel of experts (D = {d1, d2, …, dm} = {agents or decision makers dj}, m>0) who express their preferences on the alternatives in X in the most natural way without any influence [2,9,20,23,54,56,57,[73][74][75] (see Figure 3).…”

“…The total number of distinct ideal preferences is "n". Additionally, the total number of distinct ideal preference patterns is "n m ", where "m" is the number of agents 𝐑 𝐣 = {w1j, w2j, …, wnj} represents one of the possible individual preferences (or permutation without repetition over the alternatives of X) with w ij ∈ 𝐖, which is associated with the decision maker dj in D (see Figure 3) [2,8,56,57].…”

“…. , d m } = {agents or decision makers d j }, m > 0) who express their preferences on the alternatives in X in the most natural way without any influence [2,9,20,23,54,56,57,[73][74][75] (see Figure 3).…”
