Binary Relations

Provement: R asymmetric and negative transitive => R transitive

Suppose R is not transitive
There exit x, y and z such that xRy, yRz and not (xRz)

If asymmetric:
xRy => not yRx
yRz => not zRy

If negative transitive:
Not yRx and not zRy => not zRx

Provement: R complete and transitive => R negative transitive

变种: Plurality with run-off

  • first round finished if more than 50% voted to same candidate else keep two candidates
  • second round compare between two candidates

Condorcet voting rule 双序制选举(孔多塞制)
