| Abstract: | In this work, we consider a public facility allocation problem decided through a voting process under the majority rule. A
location of the public facility is a majority rule winner if there is no other location in the network where more than half
of the voters would have been closer to than the majority rule winner. We develop fast algorithms for interesting cases with
nice combinatorial structures. We show that the computing problem and the decision problem in the general case, where the
number of public facilities is more than one and is considered part of the input size, are all NP-hard. Finally, we discuss
majority rule decision making for related models. |
