Finding the median of three permutations under the Kendall-tau distance
Résumé
Given m permutations π^1 , π^2, ... π^m of {1, 2, ... , n} and a distance function d, the median problem is to find a permutation π* that is the "closest" of the m given permutations. Here, we study the problem under the Kendall-τ distance that counts the number of pairwise disagreements between permutations. This problem is also known, in the context of rank aggregation, as the Kemeny Score Problem and has been proved to be NP-hard when m ≥ 4. In this article, we investigate the case m = 3.
