representatives ultimately choose the winner, are vulnerable to gerrymandering, ie …

[PDF][PDF] Big City vs. the Great Outdoors: Voter Distribution and How It Affects Gerrymandering.

A Borodin, O Lev, N Shah, T Strangway - IJCAI, 2018 - comsoc-community.org
Gerrymandering is the process by which parties manipulate boundaries of electoral districts
in order to maximize the number of districts they can win. Demographic trends show an …

Primarily about primaries

A Borodin, O Lev, N Shah, T Strangway - Proceedings of the AAAI …, 2019 - ojs.aaai.org
Much of the social choice literature examines direct voting systems, in which voters submit

“Reverse gerrymandering”: Manipulation in multi-group decision making

O Lev, Y Lewenberg - Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial …, 2019 - ojs.aaai.org
District-based manipulation, or gerrymandering, is usually taken to refer to agents who are in
fixed location, and an external division is imposed upon them. However, in many real-world …

Algorithms for gerrymandering over graphs

T Ito, N Kamiyama, Y Kobayashi, Y Okamoto - Theoretical Computer …, 2021 - Elsevier
We initiate the systematic algorithmic study for gerrymandering over graphs that was

Partitioning perfect graphs into stars

R Van Bevern, R Bredereck, L Bulteau… - Journal of Graph …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The partition of graphs into “nice” subgraphs is a central algorithmic problem with strong ties
