Many algorithms for ranked data become computationally intractable as the number of objects grows due to the complex geometric structure induced by rankings. An additional challenge is posed by partial rankings, i.e. rankings in which the…

Finding k disjoint paths (kDP) is a fundamental problem in graph analysis. For vertices s and t, paths from s to t are said to be disjoint if any two of them share no common vertex except s and t. In practice, disjoint paths are widely…

Kernelization algorithms, usually a preprocessing step before other more traditional algorithms, are very special in the sense that they return (reduced) instances, instead of final results. This characteristic excludes the freedom of…
