In the theory of voting, the Plurality rule for preferences that come in the form of linear orders selects the alternatives most frequently appearing in the first position of those orders, while the Anti-Plurality rule selects the…
We view voting rules as classifiers that assign a winner (a class) to a profile of voters' preferences (an instance). We propose to apply techniques from formal explainability, most notably abductive and contrastive explanations, to…
A preferential arrangement of a finite set is an ordered partition. Associated with each such ordered partition is a chain of subsets or blocks endowed with a linear order. The chain may be split into sections by the introduction of a…
In this paper, we study properties of nodal orders defined over arbitrary base fields. In particular we give a classification of complete real nodal orders.
The influence of class orderings in the evaluation of incremental learning has received very little attention. In this paper, we investigate the impact of class orderings for incrementally learned classifiers. We propose a method to compute…
The group of bordism classes of unoriented surfaces in 4-space is determined. The bordism classes are characterized by normal Euler numbers,double linking numbers, and triple linking numbers.
Let G be a graph with a list assignment L. Suppose a preferred color is given for some of the vertices; how many of these preferences can be respected when L-coloring G? We explore several natural questions arising in this context, and…
In this paper we study random orderings of the integers with a certain invariance property. We describe all such orders in a simple way. We define and represent random shuffles of a countable set of labels and then give an interpretation of…
We are concerned with mapping class groups of surfaces with nonempty boundary. We present a very natural method, due to Thurston, of finding many different left orderings of such groups. The construction involves equipping the surface with…
We study the space of left-orderings on groups with finitely many Conradian orderings. We show that, within this class of groups, having an isolated left-ordering is equivalent to having finitely many left-orderings.
Classification of ordinal data is one of the most important tasks of relation learning. In this thesis a novel framework for ordered classes is proposed. The technique reduces the problem of classifying ordered classes to the standard…
We introduce and analyze a discrete-time network process in which each node holds a (weak) preference ordering over a finite set of alternatives and updates by local Borda aggregation. At each step, a node forms a weighted average…
We characterize the order of principal congruences of a bounded lattice as a bounded ordered set. We also state a number of open problems in this new field.
Let $R$ be a unital $*$-ring. For any $a,w,b\in R$, we apply the defined $w$-core inverse to define a new class of partial orders in $R$, called the $w$-core partial order. Suppose $a,b\in R$ are $w$-core invertible. We say that $a$ is…
An ordinal preference domain is a subset of preference orders that the voters are allowed to cast in an election. We introduce and study the notion of outer diversity of a domain and evaluate its value for a number of well-known structured…
Determination of the range of a variety of social choice correspondences: Plurality voting, the Borda rule, the Pareto rule, the Copeland correspondence, approval voting, and the top cycle correspondence
We show that several classes of ordered structures (namely, convex linear orders, layered permutations, and compositions) admit first-order logical limit laws.
We provide a pure algebraic version of the dynamical characterization of Conrad's property. This approach allows dealing with general group actions on totally ordered spaces. As an application, we give a new and somehow constructive proof…
The social ranking is a recently proposed framework for evaluating the power of individuals according to the performance ranking of their coalitions. Although its origin can be traced to the classical power indices in simple games, social…
Given an ordered set partition, when one insert a number of bars in-between the blocks of the ordered set partition the result is a barred preferential arrangement. In this study, using the notion of barred preferential arrangements we…
