Hallo, Rosa Camps, Xavier Mora, and Laia Saumell have written several papers on the Schulze method:
http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0810/0810.2263v1.pdf http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0912/0912.2190v1.pdf http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0912/0912.2195v1.pdf http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/1001/1001.3931v1.pdf They discuss how the Schulze method could be generalized so that it generates continuous rates for the different alternatives. I don't consider this topic interesting. However, their papers are nevertheless interesting in so far as they recapitulate many of the proofs of my papers.
