Augmenting Graphs to Minimize the Diameter

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the problem of augmenting a weighted graph by inserting edges of bounded total cost while minimizing the diameter of the augmented graph, and present an FPT $$4$$4-approximation algorithm.

Voting and Bribing in Single-Exponential Time

TL;DR: It is shown that R-Multi-Bribery is fixed-parameter tractable parameterized by the number of candidates for many natural voting rules R, including Kemeny rule, all scoring protocols, maximin rule, Bucklin rule, fallback rule, SP-AV, and any C1 rule.

The Linear Arrangement Problem Parameterized Above Guaranteed Value

TL;DR: An algorithm is derived which decides in time O(m + n + 5.88k) whether a given graph with m edges and n vertices admits an LA of cost at most m + k (the algorithm computes such an LA if it exists), based on a procedure which generates a problem kernel of linear size in linear time for a connected graph G.

On the Parameterized and Approximation Hardness of Metric Dimension

TL;DR: In this paper, a polynomial-time reduction from the Bipartite Dominating Set problem to metric dimension on maximum degree three graphs was shown. But this reduction requires the assumption that FPT≠W[1] fails.

Fair Knapsack

TL;DR: Three approaches to aggregating voters' preferences are studied, motivated by the literature on multiwinner elections and fair allocation, and the concepts of individually best, diverse, and fair knapsack are introduced.
