The Ranking Systems Research (RSR) Group is supported by the National Research, Development and Innovation Office under Grant FK 145838.
We will organise the 4th Fairness in Sports workshop on 12 June 2026 at Corvinus University of Budapest, Hungary.
A paper co-athored by a member of the research group entitled Differentiating a Linear Recursive Sequence appeared in Mathematical Notes on 8 September 2025.
A project UEFA Champions League & Europa League Prediction and rankings that provides predictions before all matchdays and alternative rankings has been started with the participation of two research group members.
Ranking is a fundamental issue in many fields of science: rankings are used to represent both individual and collective preferences, allocate financial and other resources, or support potentially life-changing decisions.
We are focusing on two specific fields where rankings play a prominent role: pairwise comparison matrices and sports tournaments.
The goal of the project is to demonstrate that the axiomatic analysis of ranking systems can offer new and important insight into both decision-making methods and sports rules.
