Abstract

Truncated Egalitarian and Monotone Path solutions are two families of generalizations of the Egalitarian solution which fail to satisfy WPO (Weak Pareto-Optimality) and SY (Symmetry) respectively. Any solution satisfying SY, IIA (Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives), CONT (Continuity), and MON (Monotonicity: everyone originally present should help out when new agents come in with no resources of their own) coincides with a Truncated Egalitarian solution if the number of agents n is greater than 2,but may permit utility substitutions if n=2. Similarly, any solution satisfying WPO, IIA, CONT and MON "essentially" coincides with a Monotone Path solution if n > 2,but may permit utility substitution if n=2.
