Property (2) below is not always apparent in existing YBD's, because when sigma
is small the notch
that makes A's win region non-starlike will also be small and will be within
sigma of the center of the
circle that circumscribes the candidate triangle. This center is (as often as
not)
Here's the latest update on my investigation of squeeze out and
non-starlike effects in Yee/B.Olson
diagrams (YBD's) of IRV.
I'm still cocentrating on the three candidate case,
If the triangle of candidate is scalene, then ...

In the Yee/B.Olson diagrams Condorcet
methods give quite ideal results. I
proposed ages ago that one might
study also voter distributions that
give cyclic preferences. That would
show also some differences between
different Condocet methods. I'll try
to draft some simulation scenarios.

another try:

geometric properties of the win regions with certain compliances of the method.

There are sometimes other considerations.
Borda doesn't look bad under this electoscope,
