<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi<br><br></div>I'm trying to implement the Schulze STV method and are currently working through the paper schulze2.pdf.<br><br></div>On page 38 there is an example (section 6.3) where this result was arrived at: <br>
<br>N[{a,b,c},d] = 169; <br><br></div>and Ñ[{a,b,c}, {a,b,d}] = 169; <br><br></div>And i can't seem to figure out how to arrive at the number 169.<br><br></div>It's not a sum of any of the voting groups (as those are all divisible by three, and 169 is not), and since all voters cast linear order preferences of candidates the weight p of the votes should all be 1 (as far as i understood it).<br>
<br></div>Could someone here maybe help me by explaining what step I'm not understanding correctly, I'm guessing it has something to do with Proportional Completion but I'm not really seeing that.<br><br></div>
best regards<br></div>Alexander Kjäll<br></div>
