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...

Distributed Threshold Querying of General Functions by a Difference of Monotonic Representation
The goal of a threshold query is to detect all objects whose score exceeds a given threshold. This type of query is used in many settings, such as data mining, event triggering, a...

Convergence Thresholds of Newton's Method for Monotone Polynomial Equations
Abstract. Monotone systems of polynomial equations (MSPEs) are systems of fixedpoint equations X1 = f1(X1, . . . , Xn), . . . , Xn = fn(X1, . . . , Xn) where each fi is a polynomia...
