I then link ethics to the geographical imagination by developing a twofold schema representing geography's ontological project and epistemological process, an ...

Copeland voting: ties matter

We study the complexity of manipulation for a family of election systems derived from Copeland voting via introducing a parameter α that describes how ties in head-to-head contests are valued.

Our result holds for all rational ...

We assume that the outcomes of each game or pairwise vote are jointly independent. In particular, we do not assume that votes arise from voters’ ranked orderings of candidates. We can treat such games as pairwise preferences, without assuming any form of ...
