Consistent Approximations and Approximate Functions and Gradients in Optimal Control
As shown in [7], optimal control problems with either ODE or PDE dynamics can be solved efficiently using a setting of consistent approximations obtained by numerical discretizati...

Nearly optimal solutions for the chow parameters problem and low-weight approximation of halfspaces
The Chow parameters of a Boolean function f : {−1, 1}n → {−1, 1} are its n + 1 degree-0 and degree-1 Fourier coefficients. It has been known since 1961 [Cho61, Tan61] that ...

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...
