The '''uncovered set''' (sometimes referred to as the "'''[[Lev Landau|Landau]] set'''" or "'''[[Peter Fishburn|Fishburn]] set'''") is defined for a set of [[preferential voting|rank-order]] preferences., and An informal definition:generalizes the Condorcet winner, or(making it a setkind of "top cycle"). The set contains all candidates on the "Pareto frontier" for pairwise-victories.
 
A Landau candidate will beat every non-Landau candidate one-on-one, and cannot be replaced by a "strictly better" candidate. "Strictly better" means a candidate that would win every pairwise matchup won by the Landau candidate (and some additional matchups).
