The phrase "approximate as" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use this phrase to indicate rough similarity between two things, for example: His light brown hair was approximated as that of a lion's mane.
Many case interviews are structured as a role-playing game in which the interviewers will act as clients, to approximate as closely as possible what the applicant will later be asked to do as a consultant.
Some cross-cultural relationships are approximate, as in the pairing of a 14th-century Chinese hand scroll by Zhang Yucai, of dragons cavorting in rain clouds, and a bravura two-panel Japanese screen titled "Rough Waves" by Ogata Korin (1658-1716).
The objective is to approximate as closely as possible the original full-color images.
The idea behind clay pigeons is that they are designed to approximate, as nearly as possible, the flight patterns of the birds you will be shooting.
The search process must be able to avoid the regions around local minima in order to approximate, as closely as possible, the global optimum.
According to such a conception, a democratic decision is legitimate if it has been made in a decision-making process that seeks to approximate, as far as possible, the ideal outcome.
To put the point differently, whereas pure proceduralist conceptions of democratic legitimacy are monistic about legitimacy, Estlund's "epistemic proceduralism" is non-monistic, as it both insists that (deliberative) democratic procedures of decision-making are essential for political legitimacy and requires that these procedures approximate, as much as possible, an ideal outcome.
One has the impression that Heyting in his explanation of Ex Falso tries to approximate as closely as possible the explanation for ordinary implications in terms of a concrete constructive connection between antecedent and consequent; this is even clearer in the explanation he would give of Ex Falso in 1956 (see section 5.4 below).
It asserts that acting on the vacuum state Ω with elements of the von Neumann observable algebra R(O) for open space-time region O, one can approximate as closely as one likes any state in Hilbertspace H, in particular one that is very different from the vacuum in some space-like separated region O′.
The second solution proposed by Riener [10] is the availability of a conversion matrix/model that would provide for each simulator fidelity level, the correction required for each participating parameter, so that the driving simulator measurements approximate as much as possible the respective on-the-road results.
To verify this, we can approximate as much as we want by smooth initial probability densities an initial Dirac mass at V F which gives the condition e μ V F ≥ λ = e μ V F − e μ V R b μ together with μ a m > V F. This can be equivalently written as μ ≥ 1 − e − μ ( V F − V R ) b and μ > V F a m.
