Fixpoints are ubiquitous in computer science and when dealing with quantitative semantics and verification one often considers least fixpoints of (higher-dimensional) functions over the non-negative reals. We show how to approximate the…

Consider a geometric range space $(X,\c{A})$ where each data point $x \in X$ has two or more values (say $r(x)$ and $b(x)$). Also consider a function $\Phi(A)$ defined on any subset $A \in (X,\c{A})$ on the sum of values in that range e.g.,…

We are interested in approximation of a multivariate function $f(x_1,\dots,x_d)$ by linear combinations of products $u^1(x_1)\cdots u^d(x_d)$ of univariate functions $u^i(x_i)$, $i=1,\dots,d$. In the case $d=2$ it is a classical problem of…
