This paper describes a greedy heuristic for a class of combinatorial optimization problems; a central feature of the method being a look-ahead capability. The power of the heuristic is demonstrated ...

This paper analyzes a heuristic for the knapsack problem that recursively determines a solution by making a variable with smallest marginal unit cost as large as possible. Recursive necessary and ...

These algorithms have evolved considerably over recent decades, particularly as challenges posed by NP-hard problems have spurred the development of advanced heuristic and metaheuristic strategies.
