In a voting model where the set of feasible alternatives is a subset of a product set $A = A_1\times\cdots\ldots{}A_m$ of $m$ finite categories, we characterize the set of all strategy-proof social choice functions for three different types of preference domains over $A$, namely for the domains...

This paper provides three short proofs of the classical Gibbard–Satterthwaite theorem. The theorem is first proved in the case with only two voters. The general case follows then from an induction argument over the number of voters. The proof of the theorem is further simplified when the...

We generalize the traditional concept of single-peaked preference domains in two ways. First, we introduce the concept of a multiple single-peaked domain, where the set of alternatives is equipped with several underlying orderings with respect to which a preference can be single-peaked, and we...
