17 juillet 20193 août 2020 Patrick Meyer A heuristic algorithm is used to... more quickly solve problems when classical methods are too slow to find an exact solution. improve the optimal solution produced by an exact algorithm. deteriorate the quality of the solution when it is too good to be true. A good heuristic must... provide no solution when the problem is too complex to be solved. provide a gain and be of limited complexity. find the optimal solution, even for the most complex problems, in a few milliseconds. Time is Up!
