In this Part II of this paper we first refine the analysis of error-free vector transformations presented in Part I. Based on that we present an algorithm for calculating the round...
We introduce a class of voting rules called generalized scoring rules. Under such a rule, each vote generates a vector of k scores, and the outcome of the voting rule is based onl...
