Floating-point L2-approximations to functions
In the present paper, we investigate the approximation of a function by a polynomial with floating-point coefficients; we are looking for the best approximation in the L2 sense....

Reinforcement learning with function approximation for cooperative navigation tasks
— In this paper, we propose a reinforcement learning approach to address multi-robot cooperative navigation tasks in infinite settings. We propose an algorithm to simultaneously...

Approximating edit distance in near-linear time
We show how to compute the edit distance between two strings of length n up to a factor of 2 ~O( log n) in n1+o(1) time. This is the first sub-polynomial approximation algorithm f...

Approximating the Crossing Number of Graphs Embeddable in Any Orientable Surface
The crossing number of a graph is the least number of pairwise edge crossings in a drawing of the graph in the plane. We provide an O(n log n) time constant factor approximation al...

A Three-String Approach to the Closest String Problem
Given a set of n strings of length L and a radius d, the closest string problem (CSP for short) asks for a string tsol that is within a Hamming distance of d to each of the given ...
