OnlineProver is an interactive proof assistant tailored for the educational setting. Its main features include a user-friendly interface for editing and checking proofs. The user interface provides feedback directly within the derivation,…

We study a model of temporal voting where there is a fixed time horizon, and at each round the voters report their preferences over the available candidates and a single candidate is selected. Prior work has adapted popular notions of…
