One main feature of liquid democracy is that voters can delegate their votes in a transitive manner so that: A delegates to B and B delegates to C leads to A delegates to C. Unfortunately, this process may not converge

Incentivising Participation in Liquid Democracy with Breadth-First Delegation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
