Traditionally, a fundamental assumption in evaluating the performance of algorithms for sorting and selection has been that comparing any two elements costs one unit (of time, work...
We show that the two NP-complete problems of Dodgson Score and Young Score have differing computational complexities when the winner is close to being a Condorcet winner. On the ...
We consider how to combine the preferences of multiple agents despite the presence of incompleteness and incomparability in their preference orderings. An agent’s preference orde...

Voting rules map collections of preference orderings over a set of candidates (one for each voter) to candidates. Now, in many contexts, we have to consider the case where either t...
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...
