| Research Type | Theoretical | In this paper, we investigate the stability of the delegation process in liquid democracy when voters have restricted types of preference on the agent representing them (e.g., single-peaked preferences). We show that various natural structures of preference guarantee the existence of an equilibrium and we obtain both tractability and hardness results for the problem of computing several equilibria with some desirable properties. |

| Pseudocode | No | The paper describes algorithmic procedures (e.g., 'We give an O(n2) procedure that builds an equilibrium for any DB profile'), but these descriptions are embedded in the text and not presented as clearly labeled, structured pseudocode or algorithm blocks. |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper does not contain any statement about releasing source code for the described methodology, nor does it provide a link to a code repository. |
| Open Datasets | No | The paper is theoretical and uses abstract examples for illustrative purposes (e.g., 'Example 1', 'Example 2') rather than empirical evaluation on publicly available datasets. |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper focuses on theoretical analysis and does not involve empirical experiments with datasets; therefore, no information on training, validation, or test splits is provided. |
| Hardware Specification | No | The paper is theoretical and does not describe empirical experiments; thus, no hardware specifications for running experiments are mentioned. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper is theoretical and focuses on mathematical and algorithmic properties; it does not describe implementation details or require specific software dependencies with version numbers. |
| Experiment Setup | No | The paper is theoretical and does not include empirical experiments, thus no details regarding experimental setup, hyperparameters, or training configurations are provided. |
