Random Walks and Voting Theory [PDF]
Mathematics of Operations Research, 2004 Voters' preferences depend on available information. Following Case-Based Decision Theory, we assume that this information is processed additively. We prove that the collective preferences deduced from the individual ones through majority vote cannot be arbitrary, as soon as a winning quota is required.

Voting Theory for Concept Detection
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2012This paper explores the issue of detecting concepts for ontology learning from text. Using our tool OntoCmaps, we investigate various metrics from graph theory and propose voting schemes based on these metrics. The idea draws its root in social choice theory, and our objective is to mimic consensus in automatic learning methods and increase the ...

Condorcet voting methods avoid the paradoxes of voting theory
2012 50th Annual Allerton Conference on Communication, Control, and Computing (Allerton), 2012Democratically choosing a single preference from more than two candidate options is not a straightforward matter. In fact, voting theory has established a number of paradoxes which assert seemingly innocuous attributes to be incompatible. One of the most desirable attributes — independence of irrelevant alternatives — is proven by Arrow to be ...

A Conflict Theory of Voting [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2010 Research in the behavioral psychology of voting has found that voters tend to be poorly informed, highly responsive to candidate personality, and follow a "fast and frugal" heuristic. This paper analyzes optimal candidate strategies in a two-party election in which voters are assumed to behave according to these traits.

1989
The most familiar type of democratic decision is the majority rule. It reflects the rather vague principle of ‘the greatest good for the greatest number’ (Bentham, 1780 [1948]) and can be so interpreted if social good is measured by the number of people pleased by the results of an election or a referendum, provided there are exactly two candidates or ...

The Knowledge Assumption in the Theory of Strategic Voting
Econometrica, 1980individual may indeed lead him to reject his sincere strategy. In the present paper, the same class of voting procedures is analyzed, and a similar result is shown to hold in terms of a new concept, that of "weak domination in the extended sense" between the strategies of an individual. The basic idea of the extension is to account for situations where
