Smith criterion: Difference between revisions

Schulze has proposed a multi-winner generalization of the Smith criterion which can be roughly described as: "if for a group of candidates equal to or smaller than the number of winners, a certain number of them would always win when onlyup to that certain number of any of them and enough of the other candidates not in the group face off such that there are always at most (one more than the number of winners) candidates running, and the same holds for any number smaller than the certain number, then at least that certain number of candidates from the group must be in every winner set in the Smith set, and the voting method must pick one of the Smith winner sets as the final winner set." <ref>https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.02973 p. 354</ref>
