  • Probabilities of voting paradoxes with three candidates

    Creator:
    McDonald, Leslie M.
    Abstract:
    Pardoxes in voting has been an interest of voting theorists since the 1800's when Condorcet demonstrated the key example of a voting paradox: voters with individually transitive rankings produce an election outcome which is not transitive. With Arrow's Impossibility Theorem, the hope of finding a fair voting method which accurately...

  • Mathematical approaches to the physics of mesoscale oceanography

    Creator:
    Early, Jeffrey J.
    Abstract:
    The long-term evolution of Gaussian eddies is studied in an equivalent barotropic model using both linear and nonlinear quasi-geostrophic theory in an attempt to understand westward propagating satellite altimetry tracked mesoscale eddies. By examining both individual eddies and a large basin seeded with eddies, it is shown that long term...
