We study the parameterized complexity of the Optimal Defense and Optimal Attack problems
in voting. In both the problems, the input is a set of voter groups (every voter group is a …

In this paper we consider a defending problem on a network. In the model, the defender
holds a total defending resource of R, which can be distributed to the nodes of the network …
