Several methods exist for performing local search of real-valued search-spaces: Luus–Jaakola searches locally using a uniform distribution and an exponentially decreasing search-range. Random optimization searches locally using a normal distribution. Random search searches locally by sampling a hypersphere surrounding the current position.
Gigerenzer & Gaissmaier (2011) state that sub-sets of strategy include heuristics, regression analysis, and Bayesian inference. [14]A heuristic is a strategy that ignores part of the information, with the goal of making decisions more quickly, frugally, and/or accurately than more complex methods (Gigerenzer and Gaissmaier [2011], p. 454; see also Todd et al. [2012], p. 7).
In mathematical optimization and computer science, heuristic (from Greek εὑρίσκω "I find, discover" [1]) is a technique designed for problem solving more quickly when classic methods are too slow for finding an exact or approximate solution, or when classic methods fail to find any exact solution in a search space.
Heuristics (from Ancient Greek εὑρίσκω, heurískō, "I find, discover") is the process by which humans use mental shortcuts to arrive at decisions. Heuristics are simple strategies that humans, animals, [1] [2] [3] organizations, [4] and even machines [5] use to quickly form judgments, make decisions, and find solutions to complex problems.
Matheuristics [1] [2] are problem agnostic optimization algorithms that make use of mathematical programming (MP) techniques in order to obtain heuristic solutions. Problem-dependent elements are included only within the lower-level mathematic programming, local search or constructive components.
It relies on a Branching Heuristic to pick the next free variable assignment; the branching algorithm effectively makes choosing the variable assignment into a decision tree. Different implementations of this heuristic produce markedly different decision trees, and thus have significant effect on the efficiency of the solver.
