In this paper, an optimized approximation algorithm (OAA) is proposed to address the overfitting problem in function approximation using neural networks (NNs). The optimized approx...
We consider the problem of approximating a polygonal chain C by another polygonal chain C whose vertices are constrained to be a subset of the set of vertices of C. The goal is to ...
Abstract. We consider the problem of fitting an n × n distance matrix M by a tree metric T. We give a factor O(min{n1/p , (k log n)1/p }) approximation algorithm for finding the...
Mixed integer programming (MIP) formulations are typically tightened through the use of a separation algorithm and the addition of violated cuts. Using extended formulations involv...
We propose approximation algorithms under game-theoretic considerations. We indroduce and study the general covering problem which is a natural generalization of the well-studied m...
