We studied variants of the problem with some additional restrictions on solutions, that place limits on the efficacy of possible gerrymandering strategies.

We present two principal results, both involving local-search PTASs for geometric covering problems. The first is an approximation to the minimum-sized dominating set for a set of convex homothets, and the second is an approximation to the minimum-sized set cover, where the sets are based on convex pseudodisks.

We obtain sufficient conditions for the emergence of spanning and almost-spanning bounded-degree rainbow trees in various host graphs, having their edges colored independently and uniformly at random, using a predetermined palette.

We show that shortest path reconfiguration problem is intractable, even for relaxed variants. We present efficient algorithms for a few restricted variants. We also generalize the problem to when at most k (for a fixed integer k greater than 2) contiguous vertices on a shortest path can be changed at a time.

We show that the number of distinct discrete derivatives, as opposed to the input size, is a better input parameter to express the complexity of convexity testing. We present a nonadaptive convexity tester with query complexity O(log s/epsilon) and complement it with a nearly matching lower bound.

We show an 8/5 algorithm for the maximum edge 2-colouring problem when the underlying graph is triangle-free and has a perfect matching. We also show that this algorithm cannot achieve an approximation ratio better than 58/37 on a triangle-free graph that has a perfect matching.

We present two approximation algorithms for the maximum independent set problem over the class of B1-VPG graphs. We also showed NP-completeness of the decision version restricted to unit length equilateral B1-VPG graphs.
