section‹ Choice Functions \label{sec:cf} ›

text‹

We now develop a few somewhat general results about choice functions,
following citet"Moulin:1985" and "Sen:1970" and "Border:2012".
citet"sep-preferences" provide some philosophical background on this
topic. While this material is foundational to the story we tell about
stable matching, it is perhaps best skipped over on a first reading.

The game here is to study conditions on functions that yield
acceptable choices from a given set of alternatives drawn from some
universe (a set, often a type in HOL). We adopt the Isabelle
convention of attaching the suffix @{emph ‹on›} to
predicates that are defined on subsets of their types.

›

type_synonym 'a cfun = "'a set  'a set"

Most results require that the choice function yield a subset of its
argument:

›

definition f_range_on :: "'a set  'a cfun  bool" where
  "f_range_on A f  (BA. f B  B)"

abbreviation f_range :: "'a cfun  bool" where
  "f_range  f_range_on UNIV"
(*<*)

lemma f_range_onI:

lemmas f_range_onD' = subsetD[OF f_range_onD, rotated -1]

lemma f_range_on_antimono:
  assumes "f_range_on B f"
  assumes "A  B"
  shows "f_range_on A f"

Economists typically assume that the universe is finite, and @{term
"f"} is @{emph ‹decisive›}, i.e., yields non-empty sets when given
non-empty sets.

›

definition decisive_on :: "'a set  'a cfun  bool" where
  "decisive_on A f  (BA. B  {}  f B  {})"

using assms order_trans unfolding decisive_on_def by auto

Often we can mildly generalise existing results by not requiring that
@{term "f"} be @{const "decisive"}, and by dropping the finiteness
hypothesis. We make essential use of the former generalization in
\S\ref{sec:contracts}.

Some choice functions, such as those arising from linear orders
(\S\ref{sec:cf-linear}), are @{emph ‹resolute›}: these always yield a
single choice.

›

definition resolute_on :: "'a set  'a cfun  bool" where
  "resolute_on A f  (BA. B  {}  (a. f B = {a}))"

  "resolute  resolute_on UNIV"

lemma resolute_on_decisive_on:
  assumes "resolute_on A f"
  shows "decisive_on A f"
using %invisible assms unfolding resolute_on_def by - (rule decisive_onI; auto)

Often we talk about the choices that are rejected by f›:

\label{sec:cf-rf}

›

abbreviation Rf :: "'a cfun  'a cfun" where
  "Rf f X  X - f X"

text‹

Typically there are many (almost-)equivalent formulations of each
property in the literature. We try to formulate our rules in terms of
the most general of these.

›


subsection‹ The @{emph ‹substitutes›} condition, AKA @{emph ‹independence of irrelevant alternatives›} \label{sec:cf-substitutes} AKA @{emph ‹Chernoff›}

text‹

Loosely speaking, the @{emph ‹substitutes›} condition asserts that an
alternative that is rejected from @{term "A"} shall remain rejected
when there is ``increased competition,'' i.e., from all sets that
contain @{term "A"}.

citet"HatfieldMilgrom:2005" define this property as simply the
monotonicity of @{const "Rf"}. citet"AygunSonmez:2012-WP2" instead
use the complicated condition shown here. Condition
α›, due to citet‹p17, see below› in "Sen:1970", is
the most general and arguably the most perspicuous.

the @{emph ‹rationalizability›} of choice functions, which we explore
next.

subsection‹ Axioms of revealed preference \label{sec:cf-revealed_preference} ›

text‹

We digress from our taxonomy of conditions on choice functions to
discuss @{emph ‹rationalizability›}. A choice function is
@{emph ‹rationalizable›} if there exists some binary relation that generates
it, typically by taking the @{emph ‹greatest›} or @{emph ‹maximal›} elements
of the given set of alternatives:

›

definition greatest :: "'a rel  'a cfun" where
  "greatest r X = {xX. yX. (y, x)  r}"

definition maximal :: "'a rel  'a cfun" where
  "maximal r X = {xX. yX. ¬(x, y)  r}"

lemma (in MaxR) greatest:
  shows "set_option (MaxR_opt X) = greatest r (X  Field r)"
using %invisible greatest_is_MaxR_opt MaxR_opt_is_greatest unfolding greatest_def by (blast dest: range_Some)
(*<*)

lemma greatest_r_mono:
  assumes "Above r X  Above r' X"
  shows "greatest r X  greatest r' X"
using assms unfolding greatest_def Above_def by (fast intro: FieldI1)

lemmas greatest_r_mono' = subsetD[OF greatest_r_mono, rotated]

lemma greatest_Above:
  shows "greatest r X = Above r X  X"
unfolding greatest_def Above_def by (blast intro: FieldI1)

(*>*)
text‹

Note that @{const "greatest"} requires the relation to be reflexive
and total, and @{const "maximal"} requires it to be irreflexive, for
the choice functions to ever yield non-empty sets.

This game of uncovering the preference relations (if any) underlying a
choice function goes by the name of @{emph ‹revealed preference›}. (In
contrast, later we show how these conditions guarantee the existence
of stable many-to-one matches.) See citet"Moulin:1985" and
citet"Border:2012" for background, intuition and critique, and
citet"Sen:1971" for further classical results and proofs.

We adopt the following notion here:

›

definition rationalizes_on :: "'a set  'a cfun  'a rel  bool" where
  "rationalizes_on A f r  (BA. f B = greatest r B)"

abbreviation rationalizes :: "'a cfun  'a rel  bool" where
  "rationalizes  rationalizes_on UNIV"

lemma %invisible rationalizes_onI:
  assumes "f_range_on A f"
  assumes "B x y. B  A; x  f B; y  B  (y, x)  r"
  assumes "B x. B  A; x  B; yB. (y, x)  r  x  f B"
  shows "rationalizes_on A f r"
using assms unfolding rationalizes_on_def greatest_def by (auto dest: f_range_onD)

text‹

In words, relation @{term "r"} rationalizes the choice function @{term
"f"} over universe @{term "A"} if @{term "f B"} picks out the @{term
"greatest"} elements of @{term "B  A"} with respect to
@{term "r"}. At this point @{term "r"} can be any relation that does
the job, but soon enough we will ask that it satisfy some familiar
ordering properties.

The analysis begins by determining under what constraints @{term "f"}
can be rationalized, continues by establishing some properties of all
rationalizable choice functions, and concludes by considering what it
takes to establish stronger properties.

Following citet‹\S5, Definition~2› in "Border:2012" and
citet‹Definition~2› in "Sen:1971", we can generate the @{emph ‹revealed
weakly preferred›} relation for the choice function @{term "f"}:

›

definition rwp_on :: "'a set  'a cfun  'a rel" where
  "rwp_on A f = {(x, y). BA. x  B  y  f B}"

abbreviation rwp :: "'a cfun  'a rel" where
  "rwp  rwp_on UNIV"

  assumes "decisive_on A f"
  shows "refl_on A (rwp_on A f)"

  with assms show "(x, x)  rwp_on A f"
    unfolding rwp_on_def decisive_on_def f_range_on_def
    by (fast dest: spec[where x="{x}"] intro: exI[where x="{x}"])
qed

text‹

In words, if it is ever possible that @{term "x  B"} is available
and @{term "f B"} chooses @{term "y"}, then @{term "y"} is taken to
always be at least as good as @{term "x"}.

The @{emph ‹V-axiom›} asserts that whatever is revealed to be at least as
good as anything else on offer is chosen:

›

definition V_axiom_on :: "'a set  'a cfun  bool" where
  "V_axiom_on A f  (BA. yB. (x  B. (x, y)  rwp_on A f)  y  f B)"

abbreviation V_axiom :: "'a cfun  bool" where
  "V_axiom  V_axiom_on UNIV"

text‹

This axiom characterizes rationality; see
citet‹Theorem~7› in "Border:2012". citet‹\S3› in "Sen:1971" calls a decisive
choice function that satisfies @{const "V_axiom"} @{emph ‹normal›}.

We could also ask that @{term "f"} be determined directly by how it
behaves on pairs (citet"Sen:1971", citet‹p151› in "Moulin:1985"), which
turns out to be equivalent:

›

That settles the issue of existence, but it is not clear that the
relation is really ``rational'' (for instance, @{term "rwp_on A f"}
need not be transitive). Therefore the analysis continues by further
constraining the choice function so that it is rationalized by
familiar ordering relations.

For instance, the following shows that the @{emph ‹axioms of revealed
preference›} are rationalized by total preorders citep‹Definitions~8
and~13› in "Sen:1971"\footnote{For citet‹p9› in "Sen:1970", an ordering is
complete (total), reflexive, and transitive. Alternative names are:
complete pre-ordering, complete quasi-ordering, and weak
ordering.}. These are alo equivalent to some congruence axioms due to
Samuelson citep"Border:2012".

We define @{term "x"} to be @{emph ‹strictly revealed-preferred to›}
@{term "y"} if there is a situation where both are on offer and only
@{term "y"} is chosen:

›

definition rsp_on :: "'a set  'a cfun  'a rel" where ― ‹\citep[Definition~8]{Sen:1971}›
  "rsp_on A f = {(x, y). BA. x  Rf f B  y  f B}"

abbreviation rsp :: "'a cfun  'a rel" where
  "rsp  rsp_on UNIV"

text‹

This relation is typically denoted by @{term "P"}, for strict
preference. The not-worse-than relation @{term "R"} is recovered by:

›

definition rspR_on :: "'a set  'a cfun  'a rel" where ― ‹\citep[Definition~9]{Sen:1971}›
  "rspR_on A f = {(x, y). {x, y}  A  (y, x)  rsp_on A f}"

abbreviation rspR :: "'a cfun  'a rel" where
  "rspR  rspR_on UNIV"

lemma %invisible rsp_on_range:
  assumes "f_range_on A f"
  shows "rsp_on A f  A × A"
using assms unfolding rsp_on_def f_range_on_def by blast

textcitet‹p309› in "Sen:1971" defines the @{emph ‹weak axiom of revealed
preference›} (WARP) as follows:

›

definition warp_on :: "'a set  'a cfun  bool" where
  "warp_on A f  ((x, y)rsp_on A f. (y, x)  rwp_on A f)"

abbreviation warp :: "'a cfun  bool" where
  "warp  warp_on UNIV"

the transitive closure of @{const "warp"} citep‹p309› in "Sen:1971":

For decisive choice functions, @{const "warp"} implies @{const
"sarp"}. We show this following citet"Sen:1971", via the @{emph ‹weak
congruence axiom›} (WCA): if @{term "f"} chooses @{term "x"} from some
set @{term "B"} and @{term "y"} is revealed to be weakly preferred,
then @{term "f"} must choose @{term "y"} from @{term "B"} as well.

Condorcet cycle over @{term "{x, y, z}"}: forcing @{term "f {x, y,

subsection‹ Choice functions arising from linear orders \label{sec:cf-linear} ›

text‹

An obvious way to construct a choice function is to derive one from a
linear order, i.e., a list of strict preferences. We allow such
rankings to omit some alternatives, which means the resulting function
is not decisive.

We work with a finite universe here.

We deviate from \citeauthor{Moulin:1985} in using non-total linear
orders, where his are total, asymmetric, and transitive; in other
words, strict total linear orders. This allows us to treat
non-decisive choice functions, and we later show that the choice
function is decisive iff the orders are total.

citet‹Theorem~5› in "Moulin:1985" assumes @{const "Aizerman"} and @{const
"Chernoff"}, which are equivalent to @{const "path_independent"}.

The converse requires that we construct a suitable set of orderings
that rationalize @{term "f C"} for each @{term "C  A"}. We
do this by finding a set @{term "B  A"} where @{term "f B
 C"} by successively removing elements in @{term "f A - f
C"}. (As these elements are chosen by @{term "f"} from supersets of
@{term "B"}, we rank these above all of those in @{term "f B"}.)  By
@{const "consistency"} (\S\ref{sec:cf-irc}), @{term "f C = f B"}. We
generate one order for each element of @{term "f C"}. Some extra care
takes care of @{const "decisive"} choice functions.

Termination is guaranteed by the finiteness of @{term "A"} and the
@{const "f_range_on"} hypothesis.
