We study the optimal approximation of the solution of an operator equation A(u) = f by four types of mappings: a) linear mappings of rank n; b) n-term approximation with respect t...
We analyze an extremely simple approximation algorithm for computing the minimum enclosing ball (or the 1-center) of a set of points in high dimensions. We prove that this algorit...
In this paper we consider the orienteering problem in undirected and directed graphs and obtain improved approximation algorithms. The point to point-orienteering-problem is the f...
Abstract. Having good estimates or even bounds for the error in computing approximations to expressions of the form f(A)v is very important in practical applications. In this paper...
Abstract. Ontology based data access (OBDA) is concerned with providing access to typically very large data sources through a mediating conceptual layer that allows one to improve ...

Mathematical models are often described by multivariate functions, which are usually approximated by a sum of lower dimensional functions. A major problem is the approximation err...
In this paper, we set up a framework to study approximation of manipulation, control, and bribery in elections. We show existence of approximation algorithms (even fully polynomia...

We present a new representation for possibly infinite sets of possibly infinite trees. This representation makes extensive use of sharing to achieve efficiency. As much as possible...
