An Approximation Scheme for Terrain Guarding
We obtain a polynomial time approximation scheme for the terrain guarding problem improving upon several recent constant factor approximations. Our algorithm is a local search algo...

Value Function Approximation in Reinforcement Learning Using the Fourier Basis
We describe the Fourier Basis, a linear value function approximation scheme based on the Fourier Series. We empirically evaluate its properties, and demonstrate that it performs w...

An Improved Approximation Scheme for Computing Arrow-Debreu Prices for the Linear Case
Recently, Jain, Mahdian and Saberi [5] had given a FPTAS for the problem of computing a market equilibrium in the Arrow-Debreu setting, when the utilities are linear functions. The...

A more efficient approximation scheme for tree alignment
We present a new polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for tree alignment, which is an important variant of multiple sequence alignment. As in the existing PTASs in the liter...

Approximation Schemes for Scheduling
We discuss scheduling problems with m identical machines and n jobs where each job has to be assigned to some machine. The goal is to optimize objective functions that solely depe...
