Neopoliocoris nom. n., a new substitute name is proposed for Poliocoris Slater, 1994 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Rhyparochromidae), preoccupied by Poliocoris Kirkaldy, 1910 (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae). A new combination, Neopoliocorisumbrosus (Slater, 1994), comb. n. is proposed for Poliocorisumbrosus Slater, 1994.

Rank aggregation describes how one can derive a consensus from multiple preferences over a given set of alternatives. Alternatives could be candidates in an election, search results ranked by search engines or businesses which are ranked by users with services like Yelp3. There are different paradigms for how the consensus should be constructed. In this thesis we will concern ourselves with the...

The computational complexity of winner determination under common voting rules is a classical and fundamental topic in the field social choice. Previous work has established NP-hardness some commonly-studied rules, such as Kemeny rule Slater rule. In recent position paper, Baumeister, Hogrebe, Rothe (2020) questioned relevance worst-case nature choice proposed to conduct smoothed analysis (Spie...

Continuous linear programs have attracted considerable interest due to their potential for modelling manufacturing, scheduling and routing problems. While efficient simplex-type algorithms have been developed for separated continuous linear programs, crude time discretization remains the method of choice for solving general (non-separated) problem instances. In this paper we propose a more gene...
