摘要
In this paper, we survey some results, conjectures and open problems dealing with the combinatorial and algorithmic aspects of the linear ordering problem. This problem consists in finding a linear order which is at minimum distance from a (weighted or not) tournament. We show how it can be used to model an aggregation problem consisting of going from individual preferences defined on a set of candidates to a collective ranking of these candidates.
