In a typical social choice scenario, agents rank the available alternatives and have to collectively decide on the best alternative, or a ranking of the alternatives. If there are just …
A committee selection rule (or, multiwinner voting rule) is a mapping that takes a collection of strict preference rankings and a positive integer k as input, and outputs one or more subsets …
We consider approval-based committee voting, ie the setting where each voter approves a subset of candidates, and these votes are then used to select a fixed-size set of winners …
We consider the following problem: There is a set of items (eg, movies) and a group of agents (eg, passengers on a plane); each agent has some intrinsic utility for each of the …
Social choice becomes easier on restricted preference domains such as single-peaked, single-crossing, and Euclidean preferences. Many impossibility theorems disappear, the …
We develop a model of multiwinner elections that combines performance-based measures of the quality of the committee (such as, eg, Borda scores of the committee members) with …
We study the complexity of (approximate) winner determination under the Monroe and Chamberlin–Courant multiwinner voting rules, which determine the set of representatives by …

We study the following multiagent variant of the knapsack problem. We are given a set of items, a set of voters, and a value of the budget; each item is endowed with a cost and each …

Many hard computational social choice problems are known to become tractable when voters' preferences belong to a restricted domain, such as those of single-peaked or single …
