Support from National Science Foundation Grants SOC78-24787 and SOC79-07366 is gratefully acknowledged. Published as Ferejohn, John A., et al. "Continuous-valued binary decision procedures." The Review of Economic Studies 47.4 (1980): 787-796.
Conditions have been given elsewhere which guarantee that binary decision procedures have a simple structure. Here we show that a continuity requirement together with some weak algebraic regularity conditions ensures that a binary procedure is locally simple. Additional topological assumptions are given which require that the binary procedure is a simple game.
