摘要：
J. A. Ferejohn and P. C. Fishburn [J. Econ. Theory 21 (1979), 28-45] prove a condition for the acyclicity of binary decision rules, which generalizes all conditions found previously in the literature. Their condition has a combinatorial aspect and is not easy to interpret, let alone to verify. This payer studies how their condition is related to more simple and more operational ones. Six conditions are shown to imply their condition and to be implied by their condition under appropriate assumptions. The conditions introduced in this paper seem to be new, although some of them generalize conditions that have been derived for voting rules defined by quotas. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.
