A local-dominance theory of voting equilibria [PDF]
Proceedings of the fifteenth ACM conference on Economics and computation, 2014 It is well known that no reasonable voting rule is strategyproof. Moreover, the common Plurality rule is particularly prone to strategic behavior of the voters and empirical studies show that people often vote strategically in practice. Multiple game-theoretic models have been proposed to better understand and predict such behavior and the outcomes it ...

Voting power and voting blocs [PDF]
, 2004 We investigate the applicability of voting power indices, in particular the Penrose index (aka absolute Banzhaf index), in the analysis of voting blocs by means of a hypothetical voting body.

Voting, the Symmetric Group, and Representation Theory [PDF]
The American Mathematical Monthly, 2009 We show how voting may be viewed naturally from an algebraic perspective by viewing voting profiles as elements of certain well-studied $\mathbb{Q}S_n$-modules. By using only a handful of simple combinatorial objects (e.g., tabloids) and some basic ideas from representation theory (e.g., Schur's Lemma), this allows us to recast and extend some well ...

Altruism, Noise, and the Paradox of Voter Turnout: An Experimental Study
Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2015 This paper addresses the paradox of voter turnout, wherein observed voting participation rates are far greater than what rational choice theory would predict. Voters face multiple voting choices, stochastic voting costs, and candidates offering different

ON SOME PARADOXES IN VOTING THEORY
, 2021 We present some paradoxes concerning voting theory - both ap-portionment methods and elections of a winner. All the examples in the paperwere constructed by the author. Mathematical background of some votingmethods is explained. Also, the fundamental results on voting theory concern-ing the nonexistence of fair methods with some historical remarks are ...

A Neighborhood Rough Classification with Dempster-Shafer Evidence Theory
Nantong Daxue xuebao. Ziran kexue ban, 2021 In order to further improve the classification mechanism and the performance of neighborhood classifier, a Dempster-Shafer(D-S) evidence-driven neighborhood rough classification method is proposed.
