Discretized Approximations for POMDP with Average Cost
In this paper, we propose a new lower approximation scheme for POMDP with discounted and average cost criterion. The approximating functions are determined by their values at a fi...

A PTAS for Minimizing the Total Weighted Completion Time on Identical Parallel Machines
We consider the problem of scheduling a set of n jobs on m identical parallel machines so as to minimize the weighted sum of job completion times. This problem is NP-hard in the s...

Structural Similarity-Based Approximation of Signals and Images Using Orthogonal Bases
The structural similarity (SSIM) index has been shown to be an useful tool in a wide variety of applications that involve the assessment of image quality and similarity. However, i...

Chebyshev approximation of the null function by an affine combination of complex exponential functions
We describe the theoretical solution of an approximation problem that uses a finite weighted sum of complex exponential functions. The problem arises in an optimization model for t...

Approximating Solution Structure
Approximations can aim at having close to optimal value or, alternatively, they can aim at structurally resembling an optimal solution. Whereas value-approximation has been extensi...
