Research Type Theoretical The main contribution of our work is to provide polynomial time algorithms with low query complexity for preference elicitation in all the above cases. Further, we show that the query complexities of our algorithms are optimal up to constant factors for all but one of the above cases. We also prove lower bounds on the query complexity of preference elicitation for the domain of single crossing profiles; these bounds match the upper bounds up to constant factors (for a large number of voters) for all the six scenarios above except the case when we know a single crossing ordering of the voters and we have a random access to the voters; in this case, the upper and lower bounds match up to a factor of O(m).

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Elicit(C , R , ) Input: A set of candidates C = {ci i [m]}, an ordering R = c1 cm of C , a voter Output: Preference ordering of voter on C; Algorithm 2 Preference Elicit( ) Input: Sn Output: Profile of all the voters; Algorithm 3 Same(R , ) Input: R = c1 c2 cm L(C), [n] Output: TRUE if the preference of the th voter is R ; FALSE oth- erwise; Algorithm 4 Preference Elicit Unknown SCOrdering( ) Input: Sn Output: Profile of all the voters
