The minimum sum representation as an index of voting power
We propose a new power index based on the minimum sum representation (MSR) of a weighted voting game. The MSR offers a redesign of a voting game, such that voting power as measured by the MSR index becomes proportional to voting weight. The MSR index is a coherent measure of power that is ordinally equivalent to the Banzhaf, Shapley-Shubik and Johnston indices. We provide a characterization for...
متن کاملVoting power in an ideological spectrum: The Markov-Pólya index
Power distributions of voting games in which only certain coalitions are allowed, due to the fact that the players are spread across an ideological spectrum, are considered. The paper extends Edelman’s model [Edelman, P., 1997. A note on voting. Math. Soc. Sci. 34, 37–50] concerning ́ allowable coalitions. The Markov-Polya index is introduced as a parametrized family of power indices which has E...
متن کاملAn Incremental DC Algorithm for the Minimum Sum-of-Squares Clustering
Here, an algorithm is presented for solving the minimum sum-of-squares clustering problems using their difference of convex representations. The proposed algorithm is based on an incremental approach and applies the well known DC algorithm at each iteration. The proposed algorithm is tested and compared with other clustering algorithms using large real world data sets.

Voting power and proportional representation of voters
The paper provides a justification for the proportional representative (PR) election system for politically diversified societies. We employ the Shapley value concept to measure the political power of parties in a parliament. We prove that for the PR system if parties’ sizes are uniformly distributed on the simplex, the expected ratio of a party size to its political power increases to 1, and t...
