heuristics

AM-76 - Simulated annealing
  • Outline the rationale for and usefulness of simulated annealing
AM-75 - Interchange with probability
  • Explain how the process to break out local optima can be based on a probability function
  • Outline the TABU heuristic
AM-74 - Interchange heuristics
  • Define alternatives to the Tietz and Bart heuristic
  • Outline the Tietz and Bart interchange heuristic
  • Describe the process whereby an element within a random solution is exchanged, and if it improves the solution, it is accepted, and if not, it is rejected and another element is tried until no improvement occurs in the objective function value
AM-73 - Greedy heuristics
  • Demonstrate how to implement a greedy heuristic process
  • Identify problems for which the greedy heuristic also produces the optimal solution (e.g., Kruskal’s algorithm for minimum spanning tree, the fractional Knapsack problem)
