We investigate Thomson’s problem of charges on a sphere as an example of a system with complex interactions. Assuming certain symmetries we can work with a larger number of charges than before. We found that, when the number of charges is large enough, the lowest energy states are not those with the highest symmetry. As predicted previously by Dodgson and Moore, the complex patterns in these st...

Social choice theory concerns itself with the proper choice of a social state from a given feasible set of social states. The main question the theory addresses is how that social choice should depend on the profile of individual preferences. Early work by Arrow and various predecessors, including Condorcet, Borda, Dodgson and Black, was about the construction of a social preference ordering — ...

While voting systems were originally used in political science, they are now also of central importance in various areas of computer science, such as artificial intelligence (in particular within multiagent systems). Brams and Sanver [BS06] introduced sincere-strategy preference-based approval voting (SP-AV) and fallback voting (FV), two election systems which combine the preference rankings of...

Social choice and welfare economics are subjects at the frontier of many disciplines. Even if economics played the major rôle in their development, sociology, psychology and, principally, political science, mathematics and philosophy have been central for the manifold inventiveness of the employed methods and for the diversity of the studied topics. This phenomenon can be compared with game the...
