A generalization of one of them, his independence of irrelevant alternatives axiom, is proposed. In conjunction to the other three, it is shown to yield a whole class of new solutions. Examples are provided. The most general reformulation of the axiom is incompatible with single-valuedness of solutions; solution correspondences are then defined and an existence result is provided.en-USWorking Paper
