The notion of fixed-parameter approximation is introduced to investigate the approximability of optimization problems within the framework of fixed-parameter computation. This work...
Abstract. The sub-optimality approximation problem considers an optimization problem O, its optimal solution σ∗ , and a variable x with domain {d1, . . . , dm} and returns appro...
As shown in [7], optimal control problems with either ODE or PDE dynamics can be solved efficiently using a setting of consistent approximations obtained by numerical discretizati...
A block matrix formulation is presented for the Sinc-Galerkin technique applied to the wind-driven current problem from oceanography. The block matrix form is used to determine an...
We present an NC approximation algorithm for the weighted matching problem in graphs with an approximation ratio of (1 - ). This improves the previously best approximation ratio of...
