2. Trial and error - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_and_error

   To find all solutions, one simply makes a note and continues, rather than ending the process, when a solution is found, until all solutions have been tried. To find the best solution, one finds all solutions by the method just described and then comparatively evaluates them based upon some predefined set of criteria, the existence of which is a ...

3. Problem solving - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_solving

   Problem solving in psychology refers to the process of finding solutions to problems encountered in life. [5] Solutions to these problems are usually situation- or context-specific. The process starts with problem finding and problem shaping, in which the problem is discovered and simplified. The next step is to generate possible solutions and ...

4. List of optimization software - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_optimization_software

   Given a transformation between input and output values, described by a mathematical function, optimization deals with generating and selecting the best solution from some set of available alternatives, by systematically choosing input values from within an allowed set, computing the output of the function and recording the best output values found during the process.

6. Optimization problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimization_problem

   For each combinatorial optimization problem, there is a corresponding decision problem that asks whether there is a feasible solution for some particular measure m 0. For example, if there is a graph G which contains vertices u and v , an optimization problem might be "find a path from u to v that uses the fewest edges".

7. Heuristic (computer science) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic_(computer_science)

   Another example of heuristic making an algorithm faster occurs in certain search problems. Initially, the heuristic tries every possibility at each step, like the full-space search algorithm. But it can stop the search at any time if the current possibility is already worse than the best solution already found.

8. Branch and bound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_and_bound

   B will denote the best solution found so far, and will be used as an upper bound on candidate solutions. Initialize a queue to hold a partial solution with none of the variables of the problem assigned. Loop until the queue is empty: Take a node N off the queue. If N represents a single candidate solution x and f(x) < B, then x is the best ...

9. Local search (optimization) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_search_(optimization)

   Local search is typically an approximation or incomplete algorithm because the search may stop even if the current best solution found is not optimal. This can happen even if termination happens because the current best solution could not be improved, as the optimal solution can lie far from the neighborhood of the solutions crossed by the ...
