Table 2 How to replace a non-correcting move \(\beta _i\) with a correcting move \(\beta '_i\) [29]; in all cases, \(e<f\), and x is arbitrary

From: On the parameterized complexity of the median and closest problems under some permutation metrics

  1. Case 1 is an exception in this discussion, since it is the case where \(\beta _i\) is a skip, so that it suffices to simply omit \(\beta _i\) instead of replacing it with some \(\beta _i\)
