Faster Approximation of Distances in Graphs
Let G = (V, E) be an weighted undirected graph on n vertices and m edges, and let dG be its shortest path metric. We present two simple deterministic algorithms for approximating ...

Decision Making Based on Approximate and Smoothed Pareto Curves
Abstract. We consider bicriteria optimization problems and investigate the relationship between two standard approaches to solving them: (i) computing the Pareto curve and (ii) the...

A General Formula for Log-MGF Computation: Application to the Approximation of Log-Normal Power Sum via Pearson Type IV Distribu
Abstract— In [1], we have recently proposed a general approach for approximating the power sum of Log–Normal Random Variables (RVs) by using the Pearson system of distributions...

Adaptive Kanerva-based function approximation for multi-agent systems
In this paper, we show how adaptive prototype optimization can be used to improve the performance of function approximation based on Kanerva Coding when solving largescale instanc...
