Local hybrid approximation for scattered data fitting with bivariate splines
We suggest a local hybrid approximation scheme based on polynomials and radial basis functions, and use it to modify the scattered data fitting algorithm of [7]. Similar to that a...

Approximability and Nonapproximability Results for Minimizing Total Flow Time on a Single Machine
We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs that are released over time on a single machine in order to minimize the total ow time. This problem is well-known to be NPcomplete, a...

Approximating the Best-Fit Tree Under Lp Norms
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...

Fuzzy Approximation for Convergent Model-Based Reinforcement Learning
— Reinforcement learning (RL) is a learning control paradigm that provides well-understood algorithms with good convergence and consistency properties. Unfortunately, these algor...
