Heuristics – is this just another buzzword? Why is it used so often when talking about optimization and what does it have to do with pizza? We explain what a heuristic is and how it works.

To the untrained eye, it is not immediately obvious whether using a solver is an easy step or impossible. Let’s take a look at problem complexity, scalability to our problem size.

At first glance, infeasible problems present a major challenge. Where do the problems come from and how can you recognise and solve them? In this episode, we will explain why you shouldn’t panic about such problems and what options there are for solving them. Have fun with it!
