Aug 6, 2019 · In PTAS algorithms, the exponent of the polynomial can increase dramatically as ε reduces, for example if the runtime is O (n (1/ε)!) which is a problem. There is a stricter scheme, Fully Polynomial Time Approximation Scheme (FPTAS).

Jan 5, 2016 · A polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for problem X X is an approximation scheme whose time complexity is polynomial in the input size. and FPTAS definition

Jan 23, 2020 · I am trying to understand what is the PTAS, FPTAS and what is the difference between them. I found this analysis: PTAS definition vs. FPTAS but I cannot understand what do we mean by saying: "...

Sep 5, 2015 · What's the intuition for PTAS reductions instead of approximation preserving reductions or something of that ilk? I'd expect APX-Hardness to mean something like "finding a constant factor approxima...

I am currently learning about FPTAS and PTAS but do not understand what the definition of FPTAS. A fully polynomial time approximation scheme (FPTAS) for problem X X is an approximation scheme whose time complexity is polynomial in …

Sep 23, 2023 · A 5 PTAS coin is short for 5 pesetas, which is what Spain used prior to the Euro. The exact value depends on the date and variety, but for the majority of dates, they're only worth a couple of ...

Yes, at least under some reasonable assumptions. Crescenzi, Kann, Silverstri & Trevisan show that Minimum Bin Packing, Mininum Degree Spanning Tree and Minimum Edge Coloring are APX-intermediate unless the polynomial hierarchy collapses. Considering that the paper is from 1996, I'm sure there's now a significantly larger number of known APX-intermediate problems.

Oct 22, 2022 · Many of the coins are valued in price close to $10 to $15 each. The value of each coin will vary depending upon their condition.

Jun 14, 2020 · I've been searching a few hours for a proof to Max independent set in planar graphs beeing in PTAS but I couldn't find anything, I'm searching for one without any reductions and I wonder if anyone here can help me find one. Thanks in advance.

Feb 21, 2020 · for every j, l, 1 ≤ j <l ≤ m,Uj ∩Ul = ϕ j, l, 1 ≤ j <l ≤ m, U j ∩ U l = ϕ the profit of the feasible solution is ∑m j=1∑i∈Uj pi ∑ j = 1 m ∑ i ∈ U j p i. The goal is to find a feasible solution of maximal profit. I'm trying to show a PTAS for the problem. It …
