Algorithmic aspects of resource allocation and multiwinner voting: theory and experiments
This thesis is concerned with investigating elements of computational social choice in the light of real-world applications. We contribute to a better understanding of the areas of fair allocation and multiwinner voting. For both areas, inspired by real-world scenarios, we propose several new notions and extensions of existing models. Then, we analyze the complexity of answering the computational questions raised by the introduced concepts. To this end, we look through the lens of parameterized complexity. We identify different parameters which describe natural features specific to the computational problems we investigate. Exploiting the parameters, we successfully develop efficient algorit...
Elements of dynamic and 2-SAT programming: paths, trees, and cuts
In dieser Arbeit entwickeln wir schnellere exakte Algorithmen (schneller bezüglich der Worst-Case-Laufzeit) für Spezialfälle von Graphproblemen. Diese Algorithmen beruhen größtenteils auf dynamischem Programmieren und auf 2-SAT-Programmierung. Dynamisches Programmieren beschreibt den Vorgang, ein Problem rekursiv in Unterprobleme zu zerteilen, sodass diese Unterprobleme gemeinsame Unterunterprobleme haben. Wenn diese Unterprobleme optimal gelöst wurden, dann kombiniert das dynamische Programm diese Lösungen zu einer optimalen Lösung des Ursprungsproblems. 2-SAT-Programmierung bezeichnet den Prozess, ein Problem durch eine Menge von 2-SAT-Formeln (aussagenlogische Formeln in konjunkti...
Dualities in graphs and digraphs
In this thesis we describe dualities in directed as well as undirected graphs based on tools such as width-parameters, obstructions and substructures. We mainly focus on directed graphs and their structure. In the context of a long open conjecture that bounds the monotonicity costs of a version of the directed cops and robber game, we introduce new width-measures based on directed separations that are closely related to DAG-width. We identify a tangle-like obstruction for which we prove a duality theorem. Johnson, Reed, Robertson, Seymour and Thomas introduced the width measure directed treewidth as a generalisation of treewidth for directed graphs. We introduce a new width measure, the cycl...
Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 17th IFIP International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems, DAIS 2017, held in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, in June 2017. The 11 papers presented together with 4 short papers in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 23 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on running system efficiently, storing data smartly, roaming in graph, building collaborative services, and making things safe.
Interactive Theorem Proving
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving, ITP 2016, held in Nancy, France, in August 2016. The 27 full papers and 5 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions. The topics range from theoretical foundations to implementation aspects and applications in program verification, security and formalization of mathematical theories.
Matching minors in bipartite graphs
In this thesis we adapt fundamental parts of the Graph Minors series of Robertson and Seymour for the study of matching minors and investigate a connection to the study of directed graphs. We develope matching theoretic to established results of graph minor theory: We characterise the existence of a cross over a conformal cycle by means of a topological property. Furthermore, we develope a theory for perfect matching width, a width parameter for graphs with perfect matchings introduced by Norin. here we show that the disjoint alternating paths problem can be solved in polynomial time on graphs of bounded width. Moreover, we show that every bipartite graph with high perfect matching width mus...
Classic graph problems made temporal – a parameterized complexity analysis
This thesis investigates the parameterized computational complexity of six classic graph problems lifted to a temporal setting. More specifically, we consider problems defined on temporal graphs, that is, a graph where the edge set may change over a discrete time interval, while the vertex set remains unchanged. Temporal graphs are well-suited to model dynamic data and hence they are naturally motivated in contexts where dynamic changes or time-dependent interactions play an important role, such as, for example, communication networks, social networks, or physical proximity networks. The most important selection criteria for our problems was that they are well-motivated in the context of dyn...
Creative Activism Research, Pedagogy and Practice
This collection explores the growing global recognition of creativity and the arts as vital to social movements and change. Bringing together diverse perspectives from leading academics and practitioners who investigate how creative activism is deployed, taught, and critically analysed, it delineates the key parameters of this emerging field.
Almfieber
Während eines Fußballspiels bricht ein Spieler der Arminia Bielefeld tot zusammen. Bröker ist schockiert. Noch schlimmer kommt es für den eingefleischten Arminia-Fan, als bekannt wird, dass es keine natürliche Todesursache war. Sofort brodelt die Gerüchteküche, und schnell ist von Dopingmissbrauch die Rede. Bröker kann nicht länger tatenlos zusehen, wie sein Lieblingsverein in den Medien durch den Dreck gezogen wird. Unterstützt von seinen Freunden Gregor, Mütze und Charly ermittelt der Mr. Marple von der Sparrenburg erneut auf eigene Faust. Dabei trifft er auf dubiose Spielervermittler, redselige Sportmediziner und einen besorgten Zeugwart und gerät immer wieder in skurrile Situationen, die ihn überraschend auf eine heiße Spur bringen ... Bröker im Almfieber: gewohnt humorvoll nimmt er seinen vierten Fall in Angriff.
Restless Giant
Restless Giant is a fascinating account of the life and times of Jean Aberbach, the elusive music publishing legend who, with his brother Julian, built one of music history's most powerful popular music publishing companies: Hill and Range Songs. During the 1940s and 1950s music publishers, rather than artists and record companies, controlled the American hit-making machine. Using corporate records, Aberbach's daybooks, and extensive interviews with top performers and songwriters, Biszick-Lockwoodweaves an adventure story thatdemystifies this occupation, showing how Aberbach's keen insights, behind-the-scenes manipulations, and bold business moves fundamentally changed the music industry and...
