The greedy algorithm heuristic says to pick whatever is currently the best next step regardless of whether that prevents (or even makes impossible) good steps later. It is a heuristic in the sense that practice indicates it is a good enough solution, while theory indicates that there are better solutions (and even indicates how much better, in ...
Gigerenzer & Gaissmaier (2011) state that sub-sets of strategy include heuristics, regression analysis, and Bayesian inference. [14]A heuristic is a strategy that ignores part of the information, with the goal of making decisions more quickly, frugally, and/or accurately than more complex methods (Gigerenzer and Gaissmaier [2011], p. 454; see also Todd et al. [2012], p. 7).
In computer science and mathematical optimization, a metaheuristic is a higher-level procedure or heuristic designed to find, generate, tune, or select a heuristic (partial search algorithm) that may provide a sufficiently good solution to an optimization problem or a machine learning problem, especially with incomplete or imperfect information or limited computation capacity.
An admissible heuristic is used to estimate the cost of reaching the goal state in an informed search algorithm.In order for a heuristic to be admissible to the search problem, the estimated cost must always be lower than or equal to the actual cost of reaching the goal state.

A hyper-heuristic is a heuristic search method that seeks to automate, often by the incorporation of machine learning techniques, the process of selecting, combining, generating or adapting several simpler heuristics (or components of such heuristics) to efficiently solve computational search problems. One of the motivations for studying hyper ...
FM algorithm is a linear time heuristic for improving network partitions. New features to K-L heuristic: Aims at reducing net-cut costs; the concept of cutsize is extended to hypergraphs. Only a single vertex is moved across the cut in a single move. Vertices are weighted. Can handle "unbalanced" partitions; a balance factor is introduced.
However, the Nelder–Mead technique is a heuristic search method that can converge to non-stationary points [1] on problems that can be solved by alternative methods. [2] The Nelder–Mead technique was proposed by John Nelder and Roger Mead in 1965, [3] as a development of the method of Spendley et al. [4]
