Satisfied and Failed Criteria
Minimax using winning votes or margins satisfies the Condorcet and the Majority criterion, but not the Smith criterion, Mutual majority criterion, Independence of clones criterion, or Condorcet loser criterion. When winning votes is used, Minimax also satisfies the Plurality criterion.
When the pairwise opposition variant is used, Minimax also does not satisfy the Condorcet criterion. However, when equal-ranking is permitted, there is never an incentive to put one's first-choice candidate below another one on one's ranking. It also satisfies the Later-no-harm criterion, which means that by listing additional, lower preferences in one's ranking, one cannot cause a preferred candidate to lose.

Famous quotes containing the words satisfied, failed and/or criteria:
“After my spectacular failures, I could not be satisfied with an ordinary success.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Every sign is subject to the criteria of ideological evaluation.... The domain of ideology coincides with the domain of signs. They equate with one another. Wherever a sign is present, ideology is present, too. Everything ideological possesses semiotic value.”
—V.N. (Valintin Nikolaevic)
