4. Decision Making (2) 1. Voting<br />

Often, not all subsets of O are votable, only a subset<br />

V ⊆ 2 O \ {∅}. The simplest scenario is for<br />

V = {{o} : o ∈ O}.<br />

Each v ∈ V represents a possible “set of<br />

candidates”. The voting model then has to select<br />

some of the elements of v.<br />

Each agent votes independently of the others. But we<br />

also allow that only a subset is considered. Let<br />

therefore be<br />

|A|<br />

∏<br />

U ⊆<br />

Ord tot .<br />

i=1<br />

The set U represents the set of people (and their<br />

preferences over the candidates) participating at<br />

the election and casting their votes.
