Decisions and Elections: Explaining the Unexpected
ISBN: 9780521808163 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This highly accessible book offers undergraduates and professionals a new, different interpretation and resolution of Arrow's and Sen's theorems. Using simple mathematics, it shows that these negative conclusions arise because, in each case, some of their assumptions negate other crucial assumptions. Once this is understood, not only do the conclusions become expected, but a wide class of other phenomena can also be anticipated. These include inter alia legislative cycles, supply and demand economics, statistical paradoxes, and diverse voting/election paradoxes.

Disposing Dictators, Demystifying Voting Paradoxes: Social Choice Analysis
ISBN: 9780521516051 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. We decide by elections, but do we elect who the voters really want? The answer, as we have learned over the last two centuries, is not necessarily. What a negative, frightening assertion about a principal tool of democracy This negativism has been supported by two hundred years of published results showing how bad the situation can be. This expository, largely non-technical book is the first to find positive results showing that the situation is not anywhere as dire and negative as we have been led to believe. Instead there are surprisingly simple explanations for the negative assertions,...

Geometry of Voting
ISBN: 9783642486463 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Over two centuries of theory and practical experience have taught us that election and decision procedures do not behave as expected. Instead, we now know that when different tallying methods are applied to the same ballots, radically different outcomes can emerge, that most procedures can select the candidate, the voters view as being inferior, and that some commonly used methods have the disturbing anomaly that a winning candidate can lose after receiving added support. A geometric theory is developed to remove much of the mystery of three-candidate voting procedures. In this manner, the...

Basic Geometry of Voting
ISBN: 9783540600640 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. A surprise is how the complexities of voting theory can be explained and resolved with the comfortable geometry of our three-dimensional world. This book is directed toward students and others wishing to learn about voting, experts will discover previously unpublished results. As an example, a new profile decomposition quickly resolves two centuries old controversies of Condorcet and Borda, demonstrates, that the rankings of pairwise and other methods differ because they rely on different information, casts series doubt on the reliability of a Condorcet winner as a standard for the field,...

Dynamics of Macrosystems: Proceedings of a Workshop on the Dynamics of Macrosystems Held at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Laxenburg, Austria, September 3–7, 1984
ISBN: 9783540159872 / Angielski / Miękka / 1985 / 283 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The history of the disciplines that led to the development of systems analysis is marked by a curious relationship between static and dynamic approaches. Although lhe imporlance of the dynamical element was recognized quile early on, lhe method chosen, more often than not, was a static equilibrium analysis. One reason for this obviously lies in the mathematical intricacies of non- equilibrium situations. Although Poincare and various other classical authors pointed oul the amazing complexity of some mechanical problems, lhe general lrend, as reflected in the standard texlbooks, was lo ignore...
