Special Majorities Rationalized
Complaints are common about the arbitrary and conservative bias of special-majority rules. Such complaints, however, apply to asymmetrical versions of those rules alone. Symmetrical special-majority rules remedy that defect, albeit at the cost of often rendering no determinate verdict. Here what is formally at stake, both procedurally and epistemically, is explored in the choice between those t...
متن کاملForgotten goiter. Our experience and a review of the literature.
"Forgotten" goiter is an extremely rare disease which is defined as a mediastinal thyroid mass found after total thyroidectomy. The authors report their experience of 7 cases of residual mediastinal goiter after total thyroidectomy for substernal goiter. Six patients were female and one male with a median age of 56 years (range: 25-70 years). Four patients were asymptomatic, 2 patients showed s...
متن کاملFormula Complexity of Ternary Majorities
It is known that any self-dual Boolean function can be decomposed into compositions of 3-bit majority functions. In this paper, we define a notion of a ternary majority formula, which is a ternary tree composed of nodes labeled by 3-bit majority functions and leaves labeled by literals. We study their complexity in terms of formula size. In particular, we prove upper and lower bounds for ternar...
متن کاملMajorities and individuals.
Lucky you, if you happen to live in one of the democratic western countries, because then you live in a society that gives you maximal freedom and opportunities to pursue your goals. But what if you are one of the disgruntled people who think that our elected leaders have got a certain issue all wrong and nobody except you is smart enough to see that they are heading the wrong way? Then you hav...
متن کاملRange Majorities and Minorities in Arrays
Karpinski and Nekrich (2008) introduced the problem of parameterized range majority, which asks us to preprocess a string of length n such that, given the endpoints of a range, one can quickly find all the distinct elements whose relative frequencies in that range are more than a threshold τ . Subsequent authors have reduced their time and space bounds such that, when τ is fixed at preprocessin...
