  of P-APP rules.

subsection ‹Definition of the General Setting›

text ‹
  The following locale encapsulates an anonymous ‹party approval election›; that is:

     a number of voters

     a set of parties

     the size of the desired committee

  The number of parties and voters is assumed to be finite and non-zero.
  As a modelling choice, we do not distinguish the voters at all; there is no explicit set
  of voters. We only care about their number.

  The result of a P-APP election is a committee, i.e.\ a multiset of parties with
  the desired size.

end


text ‹
  A ‹preference profile› for a P-APP collection consists of one approval list (i.e.\ a set of
  approved parties) for each voter. Since we are in an anonymous setting, this means that
  we have a ‹multiset› consisting of n› sets of parties (where n› is the number of voters).

  Moreover, we make the usual assumption that the approval lists must be non-empty.

  The following relation is a key definition: it takes an approval list A› and turns it
  into a preference relation on committees. A committee is to be at least as good as another
  if the number of approved parties in it is at least as big.

  This relation is a reflexive, transitive, and total.

  We also define the Pareto ordering on parties induced by a given preference profile:
  One party is at least as good (in the Pareto relation) as another if all voters agree that
  it is at least as good. That is, $y \succeq x$ in the Pareto ordering if all voters who
  approve $x$ also approve $y$.

  This relation is also reflexive and transitive.

subsection ‹P-APP rules and Desirable Properties›

text ‹
  The following locale describes a P-APP rule. This is simply a function that maps every
  preference profile to a committee of the desired size.

  Note that in our setting, a P-APP rule has a fixed number of voters, a fixed set of parties,
  and a fixed desired committee size.

subsection ‹Efficiency›

text ‹
  Efficiency is a common notion in Social Choice Theory. The idea is that if a party is
  ``obviously bad'', then it should not be chosen. What ``obviously bad'' means depends on the
  precise notion of Efficiency that is used. We will talk about two notions: Weak Efficiency and
  Pareto Efficiency.

  A P-APP rule is ‹weakly efficient› if a party that is approved by no one is never
  part of the output committee.

  Note that approval lists must be non-empty, so there is always at least one party that
  is approved by at least one voter.
›

  assumes weakly_efficient: "is_pref_profile A  X∈#A. x  X  x ∉# r A"

  A P-APP rule is ‹Pareto-efficient› if a Pareto-dominated party is never part of
  the output committee.

subsection ‹Strategyproofness›

text ‹
  Strategyproofness is another common notion in Social Choice Theory that generally encapsulates
  the notion that an voter should not be able to manipulate the outcome of an election in their
  favour by (unilaterally) submitting fake preferences; i.e.\ reporting one's preferences 
  truthfully should always be the optimal choice.

  A P-APP rule is called ‹cardinality-strategyproof› if an voter cannot obtain a better committee
  (i.e.\ one that contains strictly more of their approved parties) by submitting an approval
  list that is different from their real approval list.
›

text ‹
  To make the definition simpler, we first define the notion of ‹manipulability›: in the context
  of a particular P-APP rule r›, a preference profile A› is said to be manipulable by the voter
  i› with the fake preference list Y› if r(A(i := Y))› contains strictly more parties
  approved by i› than r(A)›.

  Since we have anonymous profiles and do not talk about particular voters, we replace i› with
  their approval list X›. Since A› is a multiset, the definition of manipulability
  becomes $r(A-\{X\}+\{Y\}) \succ_{X} r(A)$.

  approval list again yields a valid preference profile.

subsection ‹Representation›

text ‹Representation› properties are in a sense the opposite of Efficiency properties: if a
  sufficiently high voters agree that certain parties are good, then these should, to some
  extent, be present in the result. For instance, if we have 20 voters and 5 of them approve
  parties A› and B›, then if the output committee has size 4, we would expect either
  A› or B› to be in the committee to ensure that these voters' preferences are represented fairly.
  
  Weak representation is a particularly weak variant of this that states that if at least one $k$-th
  of the voters (where $k$ is the size of the output committee) approve only a single
  party x›, then x› should be in the committee at least once:

  assumes weak_representation:
    "is_pref_profile A  committee_size * count A {x}  n_voters  x ∈# r A"

text ‹
  The following alternative definition of Weak Representation is a bit closer to the definition
  given in the paper.

  "weak_rep_anon_papp n_voters parties committee_size r

     (A x. anon_papp_profile n_voters parties A 
              count A {x}  n_voters / committee_size  x ∈# r A))"

text ‹Justified Representation› is a stronger notion which demands that if there is a subgroup of
  voters that comprises at least one $k$-th of all voters and for which the intersection of their
  approval lists is some nonempty set X›, then at least one of the parties approved by at least
  one voter in that subgroup must be in the result committee.

subsection ‹Proportional Representation›

text ‹
  The notions of Representation we have seen so far are fairly week in that they only demand
  that certain parties be in the committee at least once if enough voters approve them. Notions of
  Proportional Representation strengthen this by demanding that if a sufficiently large subgroup of
  voters approve some parties, then these voters must be represented in the result committe not 
  just once, but to a degree proportional to the size of that subgroup of voters.

  For Weak Representation, the proportional generalization is fairly simple: if a fraction of
  at least $\frac{ln}{k}$ of the voters uniquely approve a party x›, then x› must be in the
  committee at least l› times.
