Definition
- Heuristics (or heuristic algorithms) are problem-solving procedures that, while may yield acceptable results in practice, provide no guarantees of yielding “good” solutions in general. Specifically, an algorithm is called heuristic if it cannot be shown to yield a result to be correct, correct within a known error of approximation, or correct with known probability.
