Research Type Theoretical Our main goal is to study distortion with top-t preferences under the original utilitarian framework. ... We identify a tight bound of Θ(max( m, m/t)). ... For the case of full rankings (t = m), this matches the lower bound of Caragiannis et al. [2017], closing a m1/6 gap they left open. This resolves the optimal distortion for committee selection as Θ(min(m/k, m)).
