Minimax Condorcet method: Difference between revisions

(Bolded the bad-example so it's clear where the ballots were truncated.)
Line 65:
This contrasts with [[Schulze]], which alternates between eliminating all candidates not in the [[Schwartz set]] and dropping defeats.
 
All [[:Category:Defeat-dropping Condorcet methods|defeat-dropping Condorcet methods]] become equivalent to Minimax when there are 3fewer orthan fewer3 candidates with no pairwise ties between them. Because of this, defeat-droppersdropping methods that pass [[ISDA]] are equivalent to [[Smith//Minimax]] when the abovecycle conditionsinvolves holdonly for3 thecandidates.

Line 75:
The pairwise victories are 60 A>B, 65 B>C, 75 C>A. The A>B defeat is weakest by winning votes, so dropping it results in B being undefeated (alternatively, B's win can be explained as them being on the losing end of this defeat, and this defeat being their strongest defeat, since it's their only defeat).
 
Since the defeat-droppers are equivalent to either Minmax or Smith//Minmax when three or fewer candidates run, they all fail [[dominant mutual third burial resistance]].{{Citation needed}}{{Clarify|reason=Even with equal ranks and winning votes?|date=April 2024}}
