Approximation of Natural W[P]-Complete Minimisation Problems Is Hard
We prove that the weighted monotone circuit satisfiability problem has no fixed-parameter tractable approximation algorithm with constant or polylogarithmic approximation ratio un...

A stochastic approximation method with max-norm projections and its applications to the Q-learning algorithm
In this paper, we develop a stochastic approximation method to solve a monotone estimation problem and use this method to enhance the empirical performance of the Q-learning algor...

Prior Knowledge in Economic Applications of Data Mining
A common form of prior knowledge in economic modelling concerns the monotonicity of relations between the dependent and explanatory variables. Monotonicity may also be an important...
