Modeling optimal social choice: matrix-vector representation of various solution concepts based on majority rule (Q2392761)

This paper gives a unified representation in terms of matrices or relations of several solution concepts based on majority rule. In this way, a convenient algorithm for the calculation of these different solution concepts is obtained. Although not mentioned in the paper, there is a powerful software tool available which deals with the computation and visualization of such solution concepts once defined in terms of relations (or matrices). This tool is called RelVieW and was developed by Rudolf Berghammer, computer scientist at the University of Kiel, Germany. It is freely available from the RelVieW homepage.
