noun. Local search refers to a type of optimization algorithm that focuses on finding an optimal solution within a specific neighborhood of a given solution. It starts with an initial solution and iteratively explores neighboring solutions, evaluating their fitness or quality in order to select the best one. The search process continues until a stopping criterion is met or no further improvement can be found within the neighborhood. Local search algorithms are commonly employed to solve computationally complex problems where finding a globally optimal solution is impractical. GPT3.5
