Abstract

A = {1,2…i, j,k…n} is a finite set of n elements that I will generally call alternatives (but which could also be called issues, decisions, outcomes, candidates, objects, etc.). The elements of A will be also denoted by letters like x,y, z etc. A subset of cardinality p of A will be called a p-set. A 2 (respectively, A 3) denotes the set of all ordered pairs (x,y) (respectively, ordered triples (x,y, z) written for convenience as xyz) of A. When the elements of A are denoted by the n first integers, P 2(n) denotes the set of the n(n- 1)/2 ordered pairs (i
