$r$ -批准的控制复杂性:从单峰到一般

The Control Complexity of $r$-Approval: from the Single-Peaked Case to the General Case

Yongjie Yang, Jiong Guo

摘要:

我们调查的复杂性$r$ -批准控制问题,在$k$峰值选举,在最多$k$峰值允许在每次投票中的顺序的候选人。我们发现,大多数NP-硬度结果在大选中也举行了k-峰值选举,即使是$k=2,3$。另一方面,我们推导出多项式时间算法的$k=2$的一些问题。我们所有的NP难度结果也适用于Approval和基于真诚策略偏好的Approval。我们的研究导致许多二分法的结果,本文考虑的问题,相对于$k$和$r$的值。此外,我们研究$r$ -批准控制问题的参数化的复杂性的观点,并实现固定参数的易处理性的结果和W-硬度的结果,相对于解决方案的大小。在探索控制问题的复杂性的过程中,我们得到了两个独立的副产品。首先,我们证明了每个图的最大程度3承认一个特定的2-区间表示,其中每个2-区间对应于一个顶点包含一个平凡的区间,而且,2-区间可能只相交于端点的区间。其次,我们开发了一个固定参数的易处理的算法的广义$r$ -Set Packing问题的解决方案的大小,其中每个元素在给定的全称集中允许出现在一个以上的r-子集的解决方案。

英文摘要:

We investigate the complexity of $r$-Approval control problems in $k$-peaked elections, where at most $k$ peaks are allowed in each vote with respect to an order of the candidates. We show that most NP-hardness results in general elections also hold in k-peaked elections even for $k=2,3$. On the other hand, we derive polynomial-time algorithms for some problems for $k=2$. All our NP-hardness results apply to Approval and sincere-strategy preference-based Approval as well. Our study leads to many dichotomy results for the problems considered in this paper, with respect to the values of $k$ and $r$. In addition, we study $r$-Approval control problems from the viewpoint of parameterized complexity and achieve both fixed-parameter tractability results and W-hardness results, with respect to the solution size. Along the way exploring the complexity of control problems, we obtain two byproducts which are of independent interest. First, we prove that every graph of maximum degree 3 admits a specific 2-interval representation where every 2-interval corresponding to a vertex contains a trivial interval and, moreover, 2-intervals may only intersect at the endpoints of the intervals. Second, we develop a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm for a generalized $r$-Set Packing problem with respect to the solution size, where each element in the given universal set is allowed to occur in more than one r-subset in the solution.
