The minimal covering set in large tournaments
We prove that in almost all large tournaments, the minimal covering set is the entire set of alternatives. That is, as the number of alternatives gets large, the probability that the minimal covering set of a uniformly chosen random tournament is the entire set of alternatives goes to one. By contrast, it follows from a result of Fisher and Reeves (1995) that the bipartisan set contains about h...
متن کاملComputing the minimal covering set
We present the first polynomial-time algorithm for computing the minimal covering set of a (weak) tournament. The algorithm is based on a linear programming formulation of a subset of the minimal covering set known as the essential set. On the other hand, we show that no efficient algorithm exists for two variants of the minimal covering set, the minimal upward covering set and the minimal down...
متن کاملMinimal extending sets in tournaments
In 2011, Brandt proposed a new tournament solution called the minimal extending set (ME). It was conjectured that ME satisfies a large number of desirable properties. In this paper, we non-constructively show that ME fails to satisfy most of these properties. However, no concrete examples of these violations are known and it appears that ME satisfies these properties for all practical purposes....
متن کاملMinimal stable sets in tournaments
We propose a systematic methodology for defining tournament solutions as extensions of maximality. The central concepts of this methodology are maximal qualified subsets and minimal stable sets. We thus obtain an infinite hierarchy of tournament solutions, encompassing the top cycle, the uncovered set, the Banks set, the minimal covering set, and the tournament equilibrium set. Moreover, the hi...
متن کاملMinimal K-Covering Set Algorithm based on Particle Swarm Optimizer
For random high density distribution in wireless sensor networks in this article have serious redundancy problems. In order to maximize the cost savings network resources for wireless sensor networks, extend the life network, this paper proposed a algorithm for the minimal k-covering set based on particle swarm optimizer. Firstly, the network monitoring area is divided into a number of grid poi...
