Empirical Evidence on the Effectiveness of Shareholder Democracy

Maxime Thibault B Couvert

This thesis is composed of two essays that study the effectiveness of shareholder democracy. In the first essay, I analyze the firm value implications of shareholder-initiated proposals. I show that managerial resistance precludes half of shareholder-init ...

The probability of intransitivity in dice and close elections

Jan Hazla

We study the phenomenon of intransitivity in models of dice and voting. First, we follow a recent thread of research for n-sided dice with pairwise ordering induced by the probability, relative to 1/2, that a throw from one die is higher than the other. We ...

The Distortion of Distributed Voting

Aris Filos Ratsikas

Voting can abstractly model any decision-making scenario and as such it has been extensively studied over the decades. Recently, the related literature has focused on quantifying the impact of utilizing only limited information in the voting process on the ...

Online Collaborative Prediction of Regional Vote Results

Patrick Thiran, Matthias Grossglauser, Vincent Etter, Mohammad Emtiyaz Khan

We consider online predictions of vote results, where regions across a country vote on an issue under discussion. Such online predictions before and during the day of the vote are useful to media agencies, polling institutes, and political parties, e.g., t ...

Truncated low-rank methods for solving general linear matrix equations

Daniel Kressner, Petar Sirkovic

This work is concerned with the numerical solution of large-scale linear matrix equations A1XB1T++AKXBKT=C. The most straightforward approach computes XRmxn from the solution of an mn x mn linear system, typically limiting the feasible values of m,n to a f ...

Energy recovery in SUDS towards smart water grids: A case study

Anton Schleiss, Irene Almeida Samora

The development of a methodology for urban flood adaptation and energy recovery solutions is resting on the concept of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) as a measure to reduce risks of urban flooding while fully utilizing the available resources. F ...

L’espace-Obama : une victoire des réseaux sur les territoires

Jacques Lévy, Luc Guillemot

Spatial characteristics are more relevant than socio-economic features to distinguish Romney and Obama’s electoral bodies. A cartographic representation at county level that uses a population cartogram as a base map makes the opposition between both geogra ...

Multi-Atlas based Segmentation of Head and Neck CT Images using Active Contour Framework

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Subrahmanyam Venkata Ravi Mohana Sai Gorthi

This paper presents the segmentation of bilateral parotid glands in the Head and Neck (H&N) CT images using an active contour based atlas registration. We compare segmentation results from three atlas selection strategies: (i) selection of “single-most-sim ...

Additive Combinatorics and Discrete Logarithm Based Range Protocols

Rafik Chaabouni

We show how to express an arbitrary integer interval

I = \sum_{i=1}^\ell G_i * [0, u - 1] + [0, H']

of smaller integer intervals for some small values

b * A = \{b a : a \in A\}

and $A + B = ...

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 ...

Fault-Tolerance and Reliability of Post-CMOS Systems: a Circuit Perspective

Yusuf Leblebici, Alexandre Schmid, Milos Stanisavljevic

The reliability of systems made of unreliable nanoelectronic devices is discussed in this paper. Massive defect density which may affect future fabrication technologies calls for novel solutions, where spatial redundancy and the voting scheme play a signif ...

Revocation Games in Ephemeral Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Mark Felegyhazi

A frequently proposed solution to node misbehavior in mobile ad hoc networks is to use reputation systems. But in ephemeral networks - a new breed of mobile networks where contact times between nodes are short and neighbors change frequently - reputations ...

'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, ...
