How to rank with few errors
We present a polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for the minimum feedback arc set problem on tournaments. A simple weighted generalization gives a PTAS for KemenyYoung ran...

Induction of Recursive Theories in the Normal ILP Setting: Issues and Solutions
Induction of recursive theories in the normal ILP setting is a complex task because of the non-monotonicity of the consistency property. In this paper we propose computational solu...
