Fixed-Parameter Algorithms for Kemeny Scores
The Kemeny Score problem is central to many applications in the context of rank aggregation. Given a set of permutations (votes) over a set of candidates, one searches for a “con...

Structural Properties and Tractability Results for Linear Synteny
The syntenic dista nce between two species is the minimum number of fusions, fissions, and translocations required to transform one genome into the other. The linear syntenic dis...

Minimizing Movement: Fixed-Parameter Tractability
Abstract. We study an extensive class of movement minimization problems which arise from many practical scenarios but so far have little theoretical study. In general, these proble...

A Soft Constraint of Equality: Complexity and Approximability
We introduce the SoftAllEqual global constraint, which maximizes the number of equalities holding between pairs of assignments to a set of variables. We study the computational com...

On the tractability of coloring semirandom graphs
As part of the efforts put in understanding the intricacies of the k-colorability problem, different distributions over k-colorable graphs were analyzed. While the problem is notor...
