Optimization Problems with Approximation Schemes

چکیده

In this paper we extend recent work about the relationship between the syntactic description of NP optimization problems and their approximation properties. In contrast to Max SNP we consider problems that take arbitrary weighted structures as input instances and we use the framework of Metaanite Model Theory 5] to get a more general deenability theory of optimization problems. We deene a class Max and show that every problem in this class has a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme (FPTAS), i.e., can be approximated to every desired accuracy " in time polynomial in the size of the input and 1=". An example for a problem in Max is Knapsack.

Biorthogonal wavelet-based full-approximation schemes for the numerical solution of elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication problems

Biorthogonal wavelet-based full-approximation schemes are introduced in this paper for the numerical solution of elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication line and point contact problems. The proposed methods give higher accuracy in terms of better convergence with low computational time, which have been demonstrated through the illustrative problems.

Optimal Pareto Parametric Analysis of Two Dimensional Steady-State Heat Conduction Problems by MLPG Method

Numerical solutions obtained by the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method are presented for two dimensional steady-state heat conduction problems. The MLPG method is a truly meshless approach, and neither the nodal connectivity nor the background mesh is required for solving the initial-boundary-value problem. The penalty method is adopted to efficiently enforce the essential boundary co...

General approximation schemes for min-max (regret) versions of some (pseudo-)polynomial problems

While the complexity of min-max and min-max regret versions of most classical combinatorial optimization problems has been thoroughly investigated, there are very few studies about their approximation. For a bounded number of scenarios, we establish general approximation schemes which can be used for min-max and min-max regret versions of some polynomial or pseudo-polynomial problems. Applying ...

Non-Lipschitz Semi-Infinite Optimization Problems Involving Local Cone Approximation

In this paper we study the nonsmooth semi-infinite programming problem with inequality constraints. First, we consider the notions of local cone approximation $Lambda$ and $Lambda$-subdifferential. Then, we derive the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions under the Abadie and the Guignard constraint qualifications.

A General Framework for Designing Approximation Schemes for Combinatorial Optimization Problems with Many Objectives Combined into One

In this paper, we present a general framework for designing approximation schemes for combinatorial optimization problems in which the objective function is a combination of more than one function. Examples of such problems include those in which the objective function is a product or ratio of two linear functions, parallel machine scheduling problems with the makespan objective, robust version...

Convergence theorems of iterative approximation for finding zeros of accretive operator and fixed points problems

In this paper we propose and studied a new composite iterative scheme with certain control con-ditions for viscosity approximation for a zero of accretive operator and xed points problems in areflexive Banach space with weakly continuous duality mapping. Strong convergence of the sequencefxng dened by the new introduced iterative sequence is proved. The main results improve andcomplement the co...
