Masked observation for majority‐based control of a democratic progress model in the framework of discrete event systems

This paper addresses a simple democratic progress model represented by a discrete‐event system (DES) and the influence of information accessibility on the progressiveness of the model. Each agent makes a decision according to its selfish criterion, and the final decision for the progress or regression of the system is done by the majority rule based on individual decisions of agents. We first present the conditions for the closed‐loop system to...
