Computing an Evolutionary Ordering is Hard
Laurent Bulteau, Gustavo Sacomoto, Blerina Sinaimeri

TL;DR
This paper proves that determining an evolutionary ordering of a family of sets, where each set intersects with previous sets but is not contained within their union, is an NP-hard problem, highlighting its computational difficulty.
Contribution
It establishes the NP-hardness of computing an evolutionary ordering of sets, a problem previously unclassified in complexity.
Findings
Proves NP-hardness of the evolutionary ordering problem.
Highlights computational challenges in set ordering tasks.
Abstract
We prove that computing an evolutionary ordering of a family of sets, i.e. an ordering where each set intersects with --but is not included in-- the union earlier sets, is NP-hard.
