We introduce a dominance relationship in spatial voting with Euclidean preferences, by treating voter ideal points as balls of radius \(\delta\). Values \(\delta >0\) model imprecision or ambiguity as to voter preferences from the perspective of a social planner. The winning coalitions may be any consistent monotonic collection of voter subsets. We characterize the minimum value of \(\delta\) for which the \(\delta\)-core, the set of undominated points, is nonempty. In the case of simple majority voting, the core is the yolk center and \(\delta\) is the yolk radius.

不精确的理想在空间投票中占主导地位
通过将选民理想点视为半径\(\ delta \)的球,在具有欧几里德偏好的空间投票中引入优势关系。从社会计划者的角度来看,值\(\ delta> 0 \)对选民的偏好不精确或模棱两可。获胜联盟可以是选民子集的任何一致的单调集合。我们表征\(\ delta \)的最小值,其中\(\ delta \)- core(未控制点的集合)为非空。在简单多数表决的情况下,核心是蛋黄中心,\(\ delta \)是蛋黄半径。
