A Multivariate Complexity Analysis of Lobbying in Multiple Referenda
We extend work by Christian et al. [Review of Economic Design 2007] on lobbying in multiple referenda by first providing a more fine-grained analysis of the computational comple...

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...

Marginalizing Out Future Passengers in Group Elevator Control
Group elevator scheduling is an NP-hard sequential decision-making problem with unbounded state spaces and substantial uncertainty. Decision-theoretic reasoning plays a surprising...

The Complexity of Probabilistic EL
We analyze the complexity of subsumption in probabilistic variants of the description logic EL. In the case where probabilities apply only to concepts, we map out the borderline be...
