  2. Problem solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_solving

    Problem solving in psychology refers to the process of finding solutions to problems encountered in life. [5] Solutions to these problems are usually situation- or context-specific. The process starts with problem finding and problem shaping, in which the problem is discovered and simplified. The next step is to generate possible solutions and ...

  3. Trial and error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_and_error

    To find all solutions, one simply makes a note and continues, rather than ending the process, when a solution is found, until all solutions have been tried. To find the best solution, one finds all solutions by the method just described and then comparatively evaluates them based upon some predefined set of criteria, the existence of which is a ...

  4. Heuristic (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic_(computer_science)

    In mathematical optimization and computer science, heuristic (from Greek εὑρίσκω "I find, discover" [1]) is a technique designed for problem solving more quickly when classic methods are too slow for finding an exact or approximate solution, or when classic methods fail to find any exact solution in a search space.

  5. Ansatz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansatz

    In physics and mathematics, an ansatz (/ ˈ æ n s æ t s /; German: ⓘ, meaning: "initial placement of a tool at a work piece", plural ansatzes [1] or, from German, ansätze / ˈ æ n s ɛ t s ə /; German: [ˈʔanzɛtsə] ⓘ) is an educated guess or an additional assumption made to help solve a problem, and which may later be verified to be part of the solution by its results.

  6. Problem finding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_finding

    Problem finding requires intellectual vision and insight into what is missing. Problem finding plays a major role in application of creativity. [1] Different terms have been used for problem finding in literature including problem discovery, problem formulation, problem identification, problem construction, and problem posing.

  7. Backtracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backtracking

    Backtracking is a class of algorithms for finding solutions to some computational problems, notably constraint satisfaction problems, that incrementally builds candidates to the solutions, and abandons a candidate ("backtracks") as soon as it determines that the candidate cannot possibly be completed to a valid solution. [1]

    Numerical computation of null space — find all solutions of an underdetermined system; Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse — for finding solution with smallest 2-norm (for underdetermined systems) or smallest residual; Sparse approximation — for finding the sparsest solution (i.e., the solution with as many zeros as possible)
