Agreement, Diversity, and Polarization Indices for Approval Elections

An index is a function that given an election outputs a value between 0 and 1, indicating the extent to which this election has a particular feature. We seek indices that capture agreement, diversity, and polarization among voters in approval elections, and that are normalized with respect to saturation. By the latter we mean that if two elections differ by the fraction of candidates approved by an average voter, but otherwise are of similar nature, then they should have similar index values. We propose several indices, analyze their properties, and use them to (a) derive a new map of approval elections, and (b) show similarities and differences between various real-life elections from Pabulib, Preflib and other sources.

Fine-Grained Liquid Democracy for Cumulative Ballots

We investigate efficient ways for the incorporation of liquid democracy into election settings in which voters submit cumulative ballots, i.e., when each voter is assigned a virtual coin that she can then distribute as she wishes among the available election options. In particular, we are interested in fine-grained liquid democracy, meaning that voters are able to designate a partial coin to a set of election options and delegate the decision on how to further split this partial coin among those election options to another voter of her choice. The fact that we wish such delegations to be transitive -- combined with our aim at fully respecting such delegations -- means that inconsistencies and cycles can occur, thus we set to find computationally-efficient ways of resolving voter delegations. To this aim we develop a theory based fixed-point theorems and mathematical programming techniques and we show that for various variants of definitions regarding how to resolve such transitive delegations, there is always a feasible resolution; and we identify under which conditions such solutions are efficiently computable.

Near-Tight Algorithms for the Chamberlin-Courant and Thiele Voting Rules

We present an almost optimal algorithm for the classic Chamberlin-Courant multiwinner voting rule (CC) on single-peaked preference profiles. Given $n$ voters and $m$ candidates, it runs in almost linear time in the input size, improving the previous best $O(nm^2)$ time algorithm of Betzler et al. (2013). We also study multiwinner voting rules on nearly single-peaked preference profiles in terms of the candidate-deletion operation. We show a polynomial-time algorithm for CC where a given candidate-deletion set $D$ has logarithmic size. Actually, our algorithm runs in $2^{|D|} \cdot poly(n,m)$ time and the base of the power cannot be improved under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis. We also adapt these results to all non-constant Thiele rules which generalize CC with approval ballots.
