An Improved Grid-Based Approximation Algorithm for POMDPs
Although a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) provides an appealing model for problems of planning under uncertainty, exact algorithms for POMDPs are intractable...

Completely Inapproximable Monotone and Antimonotone Parameterized Problems
We prove that weighted monotone/antimonotone circuit satisfiability has no fixed-parameter tractable approximation algorithm with any approximation ratio function ρ, unless FPT...

An approximation algorithm for labelled Markov processes: towards realistic approximation
Abstract— Approximation techniques for labelled Markov processes on continuous state spaces were developed by Desharnais, Gupta, Jagadeesan and Panangaden. However, it has not be...

An O(log k) Approximate Min-Cut Max-Flow Theorem and Approximation Algorithm
It is shown that the minimum cut ratio is within a factor of O(log k) of the maximum concurrent flow for k-commodity flow instances with arbitrary capacities and demands. This im...
