On Approximating Optimal Weighted Lobbying, and Frequency of Correctness Versus Average-Case Polynomial Time
We investigate issues regarding two hard problems related to voting, the optimal weighted lobbying problem and the winner problem for Dodgson elections. Regarding the former, Chris...

Parameterized Approximability of the Disjoint Cycle Problem
Abstract. We give an fpt approximation algorithm for the directed vertex disjoint cycle problem. Given a directed graph G with n vertices and a positive integer k, the algorithm co...

Hybrid rounding techniques for knapsack problems
We address the classical knapsack problem and a variant in which an upper bound is imposed on the number of items that can be selected. We show that appropriate combinations of ro...

Approximating Min-Max (Regret) Versions of Some Polynomial Problems
Abstract. While the complexity of min-max and min-max regret versions of most classical combinatorial optimization problems has been thoroughly investigated, there are very few stu...

Bidimensionality and Kernels
Bidimensionality theory appears to be a powerful framework in the development of meta-algorithmic techniques. It was introduced by Demaine et al. [J. ACM 2005 ] as a tool to obtai...
