Structured preferences

E Elkind, M Lackner, D Peters - Trends in computational social …, 2017 - books.google.com
In a typical social choice scenario, agents rank the available alternatives and have to
collectively decide on the best alternative, or a ranking of the alternatives. If there are just …

Preference restrictions in computational social choice: A survey

E Elkind, M Lackner, D Peters - arxiv preprint arxiv:2205.09092, 2022 - arxiv.org
Social choice becomes easier on restricted preference domains such as single-peaked,
single-crossing, and Euclidean preferences. Many impossibility theorems disappear, the …

Structure in dichotomous preferences

E Elkind, M Lackner - arxiv preprint arxiv:1505.00341, 2015 - arxiv.org
Many hard computational social choice problems are known to become tractable when
voters' preferences belong to a restricted domain, such as those of single-peaked or single …

Are there any nicely structured preference profiles nearby?

R Bredereck, J Chen, GJ Woeginger - Mathematical Social Sciences, 2016 - Elsevier
We investigate the problem of deciding whether a given preference profile is close to having
a certain nice structure, as for instance single-peaked, single-caved, single-crossing, value …

Near-tight algorithms for the Chamberlin-Courant and Thiele voting rules

K Sornat, VV Williams, Y Xu - arxiv preprint arxiv:2212.14173, 2022 - arxiv.org

Social choice theory is the field of scientific inquiry that studies the aggregation of individual
preferences toward a collective choice. For example, social choice theorists—who hail from …

Restricted domains of dichotomous preferences with possibly incomplete information

On the likelihood of single-peaked preferences

ML Lackner, M Lackner - Social Choice and Welfare, 2017 - Springer
This paper contains an extensive combinatorial analysis of the single-peaked domain
restriction and investigates the likelihood that an election is single-peaked. We provide a …
