Voting with rubber bands, weights, and strings
We introduce some new voting rules based on a spatial version of the median in R known as the mediancentre, or Fermat-Weber point. Voting rules based on the mean include many that are familiar: the Borda Count, Kemeny rule, approval voting, etc. (see [35], [36]). These mean rules can be implemented by “voting machines” (interactive simulations of physical mechanisms) that use ideal rubber bands...
متن کاملRubber Bands, Pursuit Games and Shy Couplings
In this paper, we consider pursuit-evasion and probabilistic consequences of some geometric notions for bounded and suitably regular domains in Euclidean space that are CAT(κ) for some κ > 0. These geometric notions are useful for analyzing the related problems of (a) existence/nonexistence of successful evasion strategies for the Man in Lion and Man problems, and (b) existence/nonexistence of ...
متن کاملRubber bands, convex embeddings and graph connectivity
We give various characterizations of k-vertex connected graphs by geometric, algebraic, and "physical" properties. As an example, a graph G is k-connected ff and only if, specifying any k vertices of G, the vertices of G can be represented by points of R ~-a so that no k are on a hyper-. plane and each vertex is in the convex hull of its neighbors, except for the k specified vertices. The proof...
متن کاملClosure of large wounds using rubber bands in rabbits.
OBJECTIVE to verify the effectiveness of the rubber elastic band in the treatment of large wounds of the body wall of rabbits by means of traction of its edges. METHODS we studied 30 New Zealand rabbits, divided into three groups (n=10): Group 1- healing by secondary intention; Group 2- removal and eutopic repositioning of skin as full thickness skin graft; Group 3- Approximation of wound edg...
متن کاملManagement of flat or inverted nipples with simple rubber bands.
BACKGROUND Occurrences of flat or inverted nipples are not uncommon problems, and although they should not preclude breastfeeding, they often seriously hamper initiation and continuation of breastfeeding. Various therapies including nipple exercise, breast shells, inverted syringes, or surgical corrections have been reported with varying success rates. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A new method has be...
