Given a set of n elements, each of which is colored one of c 2 colors, we must determine an element of the plurality (most frequently occurring) color by pairwise equal/unequal co...
Usually a voting rule requires agents to give their preferences as linear orders. However, in some cases it is impractical for an agent to give a linear order over all the alterna...
We determine the communication complexity of the common voting rules. The rules (sorted by their communication complexity from low to high) are plurality, plurality with runoff, ...
Abstract. To make a joint decision, agents (or voters) are often required to provide their preferences as linear orders. To determine a winner, the given linear orders can be aggre...
