Options#

>>> RuleVeto.print_options_parameters()
cm_option: ['exact']. Default: 'exact'.
icm_option: ['exact']. Default: 'exact'.
iia_subset_maximum_size: is_number. Default: 2.
im_option: ['exact']. Default: 'exact'.
tm_option: ['exact']. Default: 'exact'.
um_option: ['exact']. Default: 'exact'.

Notes

Each voter votes against one candidate (veto). The candidate with least vetos is declared the winner. In case of a tie, the tied candidate with lowest index wins. Sincere voters vote against their least-liked candidate.

is_iia(): Non-polynomial or non-exact algorithms from superclass Rule.
is_cm_(), is_icm_(), is_im_(), is_tm_(), is_um_(): Exact in polynomial time.

property ballots_#: 1d array of integers. ballots_[v] is the candidate on voter v’s ballot.

property scores_#: 1d array of integers. scores_[c] is minus one times the number of vetos against candidate c.

property w_#

Integer (winning candidate).

Default behavior: the candidate with highest value in vector scores_ is declared the winner. In case of a tie, the tied candidate with lowest index wins.
