Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Theoretical We first show that this problem is NP-hard and does not admit better than ((1 o(1)) ln k)-approximation polynomial-time algorithms unless P = NP, where k is the number of agents. We then give a simple voting algorithm with an optimal approximation ratio. Moreover, our algorithm only needs to access the agents rankings on the edges. Finally, we extend our results to submodular objective functions and Matroid rank constraints.
