Parameterized Aspects of Distinct Kemeny Rank Aggregation

no code implementations7 Sep 2023 Koustav De, Harshil Mittal, Palash Dey, Neeldhara Misra

We also present FPT approximation algorithms for Kemeny rank aggregation with respect to these parameters.

Equitable Division of a Path

no code implementations24 Jan 2021 Neeldhara Misra, Chinmay Sonar, P. R. Vaidyanathan, Rohit Vaish

We show that achieving EQ1 in conjunction with well-studied measures of economic efficiency (such as Pareto optimality, non-wastefulness, maximum egalitarian or utilitarian welfare) is computationally hard even for binary additive valuations.

A Parameterized Perspective on Protecting Elections

no code implementations28 May 2019 Palash Dey, Neeldhara Misra, Swaprava Nath, Garima Shakya

We study the parameterized complexity of the optimal defense and optimal attack problems in voting.

Complexity of Manipulation with Partial Information in Voting

no code implementations15 Apr 2016 Palash Dey, Neeldhara Misra, Y. Narahari

Opportunistic Manipulation (OM): the manipulators seek to vote in a way that makes their preferred candidate win in every viable extension of the partial votes of the non-manipulators.

Preference Elicitation For Single Crossing Domain

no code implementations15 Apr 2016 Palash Dey, Neeldhara Misra

The main contribution of our work is to provide polynomial time algorithms with low query complexity for preference elicitation in all the above six cases.

Elicitation for Preferences Single Peaked on Trees

no code implementations15 Apr 2016 Palash Dey, Neeldhara Misra

We then investigate the query complexity for finding a weak Condorcet winner for preferences single peaked on a tree and show that this task has much less query complexity than preference elicitation.

On Choosing Committees Based on Approval Votes in the Presence of Outliers

no code implementations13 Nov 2015 Palash Dey, Neeldhara Misra, Y. Narahari

For net approval and minisum approval voting rules, we provide a dichotomous result, resolving the parameterized complexity of this problem for all subsets of five natural parameters considered (by showing either FPT or W[1]-hardness for all subsets of parameters).

Backdoors into Heterogeneous Classes of SAT and CSP

no code implementations18 Sep 2015 Serge Gaspers, Neeldhara Misra, Sebastian Ordyniak, Stefan Szeider, Stanislav Živný

In this paper we extend the classical notion of strong and weak backdoor sets for SAT and CSP by allowing that different instantiations of the backdoor variables result in instances that belong to different base classes; the union of the base classes forms a heterogeneous base class.

Frugal Bribery in Voting

no code implementations30 Apr 2015 Palash Dey, Neeldhara Misra, Y. Narahari

However, the Frugal-{dollar}bribery problem is intractable for all the voting rules studied here barring the plurality and the veto voting rules for unweighted elections.

Manipulation is Harder with Incomplete Votes

no code implementations30 Apr 2015 Palash Dey, Neeldhara Misra, Y. Narahari

The CM problem, however, has been studied only in the complete information setting, that is, when the manipulators know the votes of the non-manipulators.
