approximation algorithm
(foldoc) | approximation algorithm
An algorithm for an optimisation problem that

however.
(1997-10-28)

to a first approximation
(foldoc) | to a first approximation
1. When one is doing certain numerical computations, an
approximate solution may be computed by any of several
heuristic methods, then refined to a final value. By using
the starting point of a first approximation of the answer, one
can write an algorithm that converges more quickly to the
correct result.
2. In jargon, a preface to any comment that indicates that the
comment is only approximately true. The remark "To a first
approximation, I feel good" might indicate that deeper
questioning would reveal that not all is perfect (e.g. a
nagging cough still remains after an illness).
[Jargon File]
|
to a zeroth approximation
(foldoc) | to a zeroth approximation
(From "to a first approximation") A *really* sloppy
approximation; a wild guess.
