    Representation and aggregation of crisp and fuzzy ordered structures: applications to social choice
    (2021) Raventós Pujol, Armajac; Induráin Eraso, Esteban; Campión Arrastia, María Jesús; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika
    The present memory is structured as follows: after the Introduction, in the Chapter 2 of preliminaries, we will pay attention to the three areas which sustain the development of this thesis. These are, binary relations, Social Choice and Fuzzy sets. Chapter 3 is devoted to the study of fuzzy Arrovian models. First, it is introduced the concept of a fuzzy preference. Next, we define fuzzy aggregation rules and all of the restrictions of common sense, which are inspired by the restrictions that come from the classic Arrovian model. Next, different models are defined in the fuzzy setting. Their definitions depend on the particular nuances and features of a preference (choosing a transitivity type and a connectedness type) and the restrictions on an aggregation function (choosing an independence of irrelevant alternatives property,an unanimity property, etc). Different possibility and impossibility theorems have been proved depending on the set of definition and restrictions. In Chapter 4 it is studied the problem of the decomposition of fuzzy binary relations. There, it is defined clearly the problem of setting suitable decomposition rules. That is, we analyze how to obtain a strict preference and an indifference from the weak preference in a fuzzy approach. In this chapter, the existence and the uniqueness of certain kind of decomposition rules associated to fuzzy unions are characterized. In Chapter 5, the decomposition rules studied in Chapter 4 are used to achieve a new impossibility result. It is important to point out that in the proof of the main result in this chapter it is introduced a new technique. In this proof, fuzzy preferences are framed through an auxiliary tuple of five crisp binary relations, that we name a pseudofuzzy preference. An aggregation model à la Arrow of pseudofuzzy preferences is also studied,but the main result is about the aggregation of fuzzy preferences that come from decompositions.Chapters 3, 4 and 5 constitute the main body of this memory. Then a section of conclusions is included. It contains suggestions for further studies, open problems and several final comments. Finally, an Appendix has been added in order to give an account of the work done within these three years, that can not be included in the body of the present memory.

    Aggregation of individual rankings through fusion functions: criticism and optimality analysis
    (IEEE, 2020) Bustince Sola, Humberto; Bedregal, Benjamin; Campión Arrastia, María Jesús; Silva, Ivanoska da; Fernández Fernández, Francisco Javier; Induráin Eraso, Esteban; Raventós Pujol, Armajac; Santiago, Regivan; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas
    Throughout this paper, our main idea is to analyze from a theoretical and normative point of view different methods to aggregate individual rankings. To do so, first we introduce the concept of a general mean on an abstract set. This new concept conciliates the social choice where well-known impossibility results as the Arrovian ones are encountered and the decision-making approaches where the necessity of fusing rankings is unavoidable. Moreover it gives rise to a reasonable definition of the concept of a ranking fusion function that does indeed satisfy the axioms of a general mean. Then we will introduce some methods to build ranking fusion functions, paying a special attention to the use of score functions, and pointing out the equivalence between ranking and scoring. To conclude, we prove that any ranking fusion function introduces a partial order on rankings implemented on a finite set of alternatives. Therefore, this allows us to compare rankings and different methods of aggregation, so that in practice one should look for the maximal elements with respect to such orders defined on rankings IEEE.
