A note on simple games with two equivalence classes of players

Abstract

Many real-world voting systems consist of voters that occur in just two different types. Indeed, each voting system with a {\lq\lq}House{\rq\rq} and a {\lq\lq}Senat{\rq\rq} is of that type. Here we present structural characterizations and explicit enumeration formulas for these so-called bipartite simple games.
