Research Type Theoretical In this paper, we study algorithms for minimizing q norms (q 1) of the disagreements vector for both arbitrary and complete graphs. We present the first known algorithm for minimizing the q norm of the disagreements vector on arbitrary graphs and also provide an improved algorithm for minimizing the q norm (q 1) of the disagreements vector on complete graphs. We also study an alternate cluster-wise local objective introduced by Ahmadi, Khuller and Saha (IPCO 19), which aims to minimize the maximum number of disagreements associated with a cluster. We also present an improved (2 + ")-approximation algorithm for this objective. Finally, we compliment our algorithmic results for minimizing the q norm of the disagreements vector with some hardness results.
