On the parameterized complexity of approximate counting
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we study the parameterized complexity of approximating the parameterized counting problems contained in the class #W [P ] ; the parameterized analogue of #P: We prove a parameterized analogue of a famous theorem of Stockmeyer claiming that approximate counting belongs to the second level of the polynomial hierarchy.

ADAPTIVE FUZZY TRACKING CONTROL FOR A CLASS OF PERTURBED NONLINEARLY PARAMETERIZED SYSTEMS USING MINIMAL LEARNING PARAMETERS ALGORITHM
In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy tracking control approach is proposed for a class of single-inputsingle-output (SISO) nonlinear systems in which the unknown continuous functions may be nonlinearlyparameterized. During the controller design procedure, the fuzzy logic systems (FLS) in Mamdani type are applied to approximate the unknown continuous functions, and then, based on the minimal learnin...
متن کاملA Fixed-Parameter Perspective on #BIS
The problem of (approximately) counting the independent sets of a bipartite graph (#BIS) is the canonical approximate counting problem that is complete in the intermediate complexity class #RHΠ1. It is believed that #BIS does not have an efficient approximation algorithm but also that it is not NP-hard. We study the robustness of the intermediate complexity of #BIS by considering variants of th...
متن کاملDeterministic Approximate Counting for Degree-$2$ Polynomial Threshold Functions
We give a deterministic algorithm for approximately computing the fraction of Boolean assignments that satisfy a degree-2 polynomial threshold function. Given a degree-2 input polynomial p(x1, . . . , xn) and a parameter > 0, the algorithm approximates Prx∼{−1,1}n [p(x) ≥ 0] to within an additive ± in time poly(n, 2 ). Note that it is NP-hard to determine whether the above probability is nonzer...
متن کاملApproximate Counting via Correlation Decay on Planar Graphs
We show for a broad class of counting problems, correlation decay (strong spatial mixing) implies FPTAS on planar graphs. The framework for the counting problems considered by us is the Holant problems with arbitrary constant-size domain and symmetric constraint functions. We define a notion of regularity on the constraint functions, which covers a wide range of natural and important counting p...
متن کاملFuzzy adaptive tracking control for a class of nonlinearly parameterized systems with unknown control directions
This paper addresses the problem of adaptive fuzzy tracking control for aclass of nonlinearly parameterized systems with unknown control directions.In this paper, the nonlinearly parameterized functions are lumped into the unknown continuous functionswhich can be approximated by using the fuzzy logic systems (FLS) in Mamdani type. Then, the Nussbaum-type function is used to de...
