Heuristics Design
Éric D. Taillard · Graduate texts in operations research · 2022
Abstract The last chapter of the book gives some advice on developing heuristics. It discusses the difficulty of modeling the problem and gives an example of decomposing the problem into a chain of more manageable sub-problems. Secondly, it proposes an approach for the design of a specific heuristic. Finally, some techniques for parameter tuning and comparing the efficiency of algorithms are reviewed.
