District-based manipulation, or gerrymandering, is usually taken to refer to agents who are in
fixed location, and an external division is imposed upon them. However, in many real-world …

Partitioning perfect graphs into stars
The partition of graphs into “nice” subgraphs is a central algorithmic problem with strong ties
to matching theory. We study the partitioning of undirected graphs into same‐size stars, a …
