We investigate the computational structure of the biological kinship assignment problem by abstracting away all biological details that are irrelevant to computation. The computational structure depends on phenotype space, which we formally define.
We illustrate this approach by exhibiting an approximation algorithm for
kinship assignment in the case of the Simpson index with a priori error bound and
running time that is polynomial in the bit size of the population, but exponential in phenotype space size.
This algorithm is based on a relaxed version of the assignment problem, where fractional assignments (over the reals) are permitted.
