Interval consensus: from quantized gossip to voting

Martin Vetterli, Patrick Thiran, Florence Bénézit

We design distributed and quantized average consensus algorithms on arbitrary connected networks. By construction, quantized algorithms cannot produce a real, analog average. Instead, our algorithm reaches consensus on the quantized interval that contains ...

'I pay enough taxes already!' Applying economic voting models to environmental referendums

Philippe Thalmann, Nicholas Bornstein

Objectives. Models of economic voting have rarely been applied to referendum votes. We fill this gap by testing citizens’ voting behavior on environmental policy in relation to their perception of the business cycle. Thus, the study examines the personal, ...
