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...

Approximability of Robust Network Design
We consider robust network design problems where the set of feasible demands may be given by an arbitrary polytope or convex body more generally. This model, introduced by BenAmeu...

Constrained k-center and movement to independence
We obtain hardness results and approximation algorithms for two related geometric problems involving movement. The first is a constrained variant of the k-center problem, arising ...
