Optimal Approximation of Elliptic Problems by Linear and Nonlinear Mappings
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...

A Simple Streaming Algorithm for Minimum Enclosing Balls
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...

Improved algorithms for orienteering and related problems
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...

Error Bounds for Lanczos Approximations of Rational Functions of Matrices
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...

Expressive Approximations in DL-Lite Ontologies
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 ...

On the approximation error in high dimensional model representation
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...
