      Article
      Restricted access - author's decision
      We investigate voting systems with two classes of voters, for which there is a hierarchy giving each member of the stronger class more influence or important than each member of the weaker class. We deduce for voting systems ...
    • Computation of several power indices by generating functions 

      Alonso Meijide, José María; Freixas Bosch, Josep; Molinero Albareda, Xavier (2012)
      Article
      Open Access
      In this paper we propose methods to compute the Deegan-Packel, the Public Good, and the Shift power indices by generating functions for the particular case of weighted voting games. Furthermore, we define a new power ...
    • Cooperation through social influence 

      Molinero Albareda, Xavier; Riquelme Csori, Fabián; Serna Iglesias, María José (Elsevier, 2015-05-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      We consider a simple and altruistic multiagent system in which the agents are eager to perform a collective task but where their real engagement depends on the willingness to perform the task of other influential agents. ...
    • Dimension and codimension of simple games 

      Kurz, Sascha; Molinero Albareda, Xavier; Olsen, Martin; Serna Iglesias, María José (2016-11-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      This paper studies the complexity of computing a representation of a simple game as the intersection (union) of weighted majority games, as well as, the dimension or the codimension. We also present some examples with ...
    • Extremal coalitions for influence games through swarm intelligence-based methods 

      Riquelme Csori, Fabián; Olivares Ordenes, Rodrigo; Muñoz Martínez, Francisco José; Molinero Albareda, Xavier; Serna Iglesias, María José (2022)
      Article
      Open Access
      An influence game is a simple game represented over an influence graph (i.e., a labeled, weighted graph) on which the influence spread phenomenon is exerted. Influence games allow applying different properties and parameters ...
