Manipulation of Elections: Algorithms and Infeasibility Results
This document describes the topics and results that the author intends to study as part of his thesis research. The focus of this proposal is on computational social choice theory, an interdisciplinary domain that stems from computational analysis of election systems and social choice. We focus on the question: How difficult is it for computationally bounded agents to tamper with an election and is there an election system that is resistant to such attacks? In particular we study the problems of known as manipulation, bribery, and control.
