It is possible for no limit MTT short stack play. Only one decision. All in or fold.

It has only been approximated. It uses a finite set of stack sizes, and ignores the fact that both opponents have the option of just calling the blind and then playing postflop, which will make the game tree much, much larger.
One AI group did an approximation on the full heads up limit game. The results seemed pretty good playing against an expert human over 10k hands.
If the mathematician can make such an approximation before the game and bring it in on paper/computer/whatever, he'll surely have the edge. How well he can approximate this in his head is a whole different story .
