Combinatorial n-fold integer programming and applications

D Knop, M Koutecký, M Mnich - Mathematical Programming, 2020 - Springer
Many fundamental NP NP-hard problems can be formulated as integer linear programs
(ILPs). A famous algorithm by Lenstra solves ILPs in time that is exponential only in the …

[PDF][PDF] Winner Robustness via Swap-and Shift-Bribery: Parameterized Counting Complexity and Experiments.

N Boehmer, R Bredereck, P Faliszewski… - IJCAI, 2021 - comsoc-community.org
We study the parameterized complexity of counting variants of Swap-and Shift-Bribery,
focusing on the parameterizations by the number of swaps and the number of voters. Facing …

Opinion diffusion and campaigning on society graphs

P Faliszewski, R Gonen, M Koutecký… - Journal of Logic and …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We study the effects of campaigning, where the society is partitioned into voter clusters and
a diffusion process propagates opinions in a network connecting the clusters. Our model can …

Voting and bribing in single-exponential time

D Knop, M Koutecký, M Mnich - ACM Transactions on Economics and …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
We introduce a general problem about bribery in voting systems. In the R-Multi-Bribery
problem, the goal is to bribe a set of voters at minimum cost such that a desired candidate is …

R Bredereck, J Chen, P Faliszewski… - Tsinghua Science …, 2014 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Computational Social Choice is an interdisciplinary research area involving Economics,
Political Science, and Social Science on the one side, and Mathematics and Computer …

Bribery as a measure of candidate success: Complexity results for approval-based multiwinner rules

P Faliszewski, P Skowron, N Talmon - arXiv preprint arXiv:2104.09130, 2021 - arxiv.org
We study the problem of bribery in multiwinner elections, for the case where the voters cast
approval ballots (ie, sets of candidates they approve) and the bribery actions are limited to …

Elections with few voters: Candidate control can be easy

J Chen, P Faliszewski, R Niedermeier… - Journal of Artificial …, 2017 - jair.org
We study the computational complexity of candidate control in elections with few voters, that
is, we consider the parameterized complexity of candidate control in elections with respect to …

Robustness among multiwinner voting rules

R Bredereck, P Faliszewski, A Kaczmarczyk… - … on Algorithmic Game …, 2017 - Springer
We investigate how robust are results of committee elections to small changes in the input
preference orders, depending on the voting rules used. We find that for typical rules the …

[HTML][HTML] Prices matter for the parameterized complexity of shift bribery

R Bredereck, J Chen, P Faliszewski… - Information and …, 2016 - Elsevier
Abstract In the Shift Bribery problem, we are given an election, a preferred candidate p, and
a budget. The goal is to ensure p's victory by shifting p higher in some voters' preference …

Complexity of shift bribery in committee elections

R Bredereck, P Faliszewski, R Niedermeier… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - ojs.aaai.org
We study the (parameterized) complexity of Shift Bribery for multiwinner voting rules. We
focus on the SNTV, Bloc, k-Borda, and Chamberlin-Courant rules, as well as on approximate …
