Dodgson's Rule Approximations and Absurdity
With the Dodgson rule, cloning the electorate can change the winner, which Young (1977) considers an “absurdity”. Removing this absurdity results in a new rule (Fishburn, 1977) for which we can compute the winner in polynomial time (Rothe et al., 2003), unlike the traditional Dodgson rule. We call this rule DC and introduce two new related rules (DR and D&). Dodgson did not explicitly propose t...
متن کاملIThe theory of optimal reductions
We introduce a new class of higher order rewriting systems, called Interaction Systems (IS's). IS's come from Lafont's (Intuitionistic) Interaction Nets Lafont 1990] by dropping the linearity constraint. In particular, we borrow from Interaction Nets the syntactical bipartitions of operators into constructors and destructors and the principle of binary interaction. As a consequence, IS's are a ...
متن کاملFull Reduction in the Face of Absurdity
Core calculi that model the essence of computations use full reduction semantics to be built on solid grounds. Expressive type systems for these calculi may use propositions to refine the notion of types, which allows abstraction over possibly inconsistent hypotheses. To preserve type soundness, reduction must then be delayed until logical hypotheses on which the computation depends have been p...
متن کاملIThe Development of Traffic Engineering in Australia
M cars first appeared on Australian roads in about 1900, and road laws, as they are known today, began to evolve soon after. For several years traffic control in Australia was largely a police responsibility, but by the mid to late 1930sthe principles of traffic engineering, including the need to consider the road, the vehicle, the driver, and the traffic rules as an integrated system, were bei...

McCarthy scholarship has predominantly tended to stress the writer’s revisionism with regard to his rendering of the myth of the American West in Blood Meridian (1985). McCarthy’s novel has beenmainlyhailed as a critique of the violence of manifest destiny. This study aims to delineate aspects of McCarthy’s narrative which resist the predominant view of him as a revisionist. In this re...
