English abstract:
Kemeny´s voting rule is a well-known and computationally intractable rank aggregation method. In this work, we propose an algorithm that finds an embeddable Kemeny ranking in d-Euclidean elections. This algorithm achieves a polynomial runtime (for a fixed dimension d) and thus demonstrates the algorithmic usefulness of the d-Euclidean restriction. We further investigate how well embeddable Kemeny rankings approximate optimal (unrestricted) Kemeny rankings.
