Research Type Theoretical We propose a generalisation of liquid democracy in which a voter can either vote directly on the issues at stake, delegate her vote to another voter, or express complex delegations to a set of trusted voters. By requiring a ranking of desirable delegations and a backup vote from each voter, we are able to put forward and compare four algorithms to solve delegation cycles and obtain a final collective decision. ... We investigate further algorithmic properties of our setting in Section 3, and we conclude with a study of ranked delegations to single voters and participation axioms (Section 4).

Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any explicit statement or link for open-source code for the described methodology.
Open Datasets No The paper uses an illustrative example (Example 2) with hypothetical data to explain the unravelling procedures but does not use or provide access to any public or real-world dataset for training, testing, or validation.
Dataset Splits No The paper does not describe specific training, validation, or test splits for any dataset, as it primarily focuses on theoretical and algorithmic analysis.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide any specific hardware specifications (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory details) used for running its algorithms or any theoretical experiments. The work focuses on algorithmic analysis.
Software Dependencies No The paper describes algorithms and their theoretical properties. It does not mention any specific software dependencies or version numbers required to implement or replicate the work.
Experiment Setup No The paper describes algorithms and their theoretical properties. It does not detail an experimental setup with hyperparameters, training configurations, or system-level settings, as it is not an empirical study.
