Vote on How We Vote ?

Leslie matrices are taught as a method of modeling populations in a discrete-time fashion with more detail in the tracking of age groups within the population. Leslie matrices have limited use in the actual modeling of populations, since when the age groups are summed, it is basically equivalent to discrete-time modeling assuming exponential population growth. The logistic model of population g...

Reflections on Vote Manipulation

The notion of non-manipulability (or: strategy-proofness) used in the famous Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem is too strong to make useful distinctions between voting rules. We explore alternative definitions and suggest how these can be used to classify voting rules. If A is a finite set of alternatives, with |A| > 2, then an A-ballot is a linear ordering of A. Let {1, . . . , n} be a set of vote...

on semihypergroups and hypergroups

in this thesis, first the notion of weak mutual associativity (w.m.a.) and the necessary and sufficient condition for a $(l,gamma)$-associated hypersemigroup $(h, ast)$ derived from some family of $lesssim$-preordered semigroups to be a hypergroup, are given. second, by proving the fact that the concrete categories, semihypergroups and hypergroups have not free objects we will introduce t...

Click and Vote: Citizenship on the Internet

In the 1998 general election, Minnesota had a voter turnout of 60 percent in a nonpresidential year. While this was also the highest turnout in the nation, a significant number of Minnesotans still did not exercise their right to vote. In fact, 1.4 million eligible voters of the state did not vote and 119 million people did not vote nationwide, a 36 percent participation rate. It is not surpris...
