The set of possible outcomes in the process of government formation is then calculated on the basis of both the fuzzy Pareto set and the fuzzy maximal set, and the predictions are compared with those made by two conventional approaches as well as with the government that was actually formed.

Moreover, the median voter theorem is shown to hold under strict fuzzy preferences but not under weak fuzzy preferences.

This book explores the intersection of fuzzy mathematics and the spatial modeling of preferences in political science.

Colleges give degrees in information science and information management. The purpose of this volume is to introduce key developments and results in the area of generalized information theory, a theory that deals with uncertainty-based information within mathematical frameworks that are broader than classical set theory and probability theory.
