  Smith set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In voting systems, the Smith set is the smallest non-empty set of candidates in a particular election such that each member beats every other candidate outside the set in a pairwise election.
Voting systems that always elect a candidate from the Smith set pass the Smith criterion and are said to be "Smith-efficient".
Except for this case, the Smith set will almost always have either one member (a clear winner) or a cycle of three members (A beats B, B beats C, and C beats A, and all of them beat everyone else).

 Smith-Volterra-Cantor set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the Smith-Volterra-Cantor set (SVC) or the fat Cantor set is an example of a set of points on the real line R that is nowhere dense (in particular it contains no intervals), yet has positive measure.
Similarly to the construction of the Cantor set, the Smith-Volterra-Cantor set is constructed by removing certain intervals from the unit interval [0, 1].
Continuing indefinitely with this removal, the Smith-Volterra-Cantor set is then the set of points that are never removed.
