Condorcet's theory of voting

H. P. Young (1990)

Mathématiques et Sciences Humaines

Similarity:

Condorcet believed that the purpose of voting is to make a choice that is “best” for society. According to his view, there is one choice that is objectively best, another that is second-best, and so forth. Unfortunately, voters sometimes make mistakes ; they misperceive what is best. In designing a voting rule, therefore, the objective should be to choose the alternative that is most likely to be best. Condorcet solved this problem using a form of maximum likelihood estimation. The procedure...

Between shrinking and blooming: the crossroad of small towns’ urbanisation in Hungary

Gábor Pirisi, András Trócsányi, Bernadett Makkai (2015)

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis Studia Geographica

Similarity:

The authors present an overview about small towns’ urbanisation in Hungary. Following the specific aspects and factors of their urbanisation in the last centuries, the authors conclude that 20 years after the political and economic transition, small towns arrived at a crossroads in their development. Suffering the effects of demographic change and an outflow of young adults, almost every typical, traditional small town has been shrinking since at least the last decade. This crisis is...

Dimensional compactness in biequivalence vector spaces

J. Náter, P. Pulmann, Pavol Zlatoš (1992)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

The notion of dimensionally compact class in a biequivalence vector space is introduced. Similarly as the notion of compactness with respect to a π -equivalence reflects our nonability to grasp any infinite set under sharp distinction of its elements, the notion of dimensional compactness is related to the fact that we are not able to measure out any infinite set of independent parameters. A fairly natural Galois connection between equivalences on an infinite set s and classes of set...
