1- Incremental approach

1.1- Input-Centric Strategy

  • What new input can we add to the solution at this iteration?
  • How can we incorporate this input into the current solution in a way that is consistent with the overall approach?
  • What impact will this input have on the overall solution?

1.2- Output-Centric Strategy

  • What output can we add to the solution at this iteration?
  • How can we incorporate this output into the current solution in a way that is consistent with the overall approach?
  • What impact will this output have on the overall solution?

1.3- Iterative Improvement Strategy

  • How can we improve the current approximation of the solution?
  • What changes can we make to the current solution that will bring us closer to the final solution?
  • How can we evaluate the quality of the improved solution and determine whether it is good enough to move on to the next iteration?

2- Decrease and Conquer Approach

2.1- Evaluating the Problem at a Smaller Scale

  • How can we reduce the scale of the problem?
  • What are the key features of the problem that we need to preserve in order to maintain its essential characteristics?
  • Can we find a solution to the reduced problem that is likely to be compatible with a solution to the larger problem?

2.2- Expanding the Solution to a Larger Scale

  • How can we expand the solution to the reduced problem to a larger scale?
  • What are the limitations of the solution at the larger scale?
  • How can we overcome these limitations and find a solution to the larger problem?

2.3- Comparison and Refinement

  • How does the solution to the larger problem compare to the solution to the smaller problem?
  • Are there any inconsistencies or conflicts between the two solutions?

3- Divide and Conquer Approach

3.1- Dividing the Problem into Smaller Problems

  • How can we divide the problem into smaller problems?
  • What are the key characteristics of the smaller problems that need to be preserved in order to maintain the essential characteristics of the larger problem?
  • How can we ensure that the smaller problems are independent and can be solved individually?

3.2- Solving the Smaller Problems

  • How can we solve each of the smaller problems individually?
  • What are the key features of the solutions to the smaller problems that need to be preserved in order to maintain the essential characteristics of the larger solution?
  • How can we evaluate the quality of the solutions to the smaller problems and determine whether they are good enough to be combined?

3.3- Combining the Solutions to the Smaller Problems

  • How can we combine the solutions to the smaller problems to form a solution to the larger problem?
  • What are the key challenges in combining the solutions in a way that is consistent with the overall approach?
  • How can we evaluate the quality of the combined solution and determine whether it is good enough to be considered a solution to the larger problem?

4- Transform and Conquer Approach

5- Greedy Approach

5.1- Heuristic Evaluation

  • What is the heuristic that is being used to evaluate different options?
  • How does the heuristic work, and how is it used to choose the most promising option?
  • Are there any potential drawbacks to using this heuristic, and are there any situations in which it might not be effective?

5.2- Expanding the Solution

  • How does the greedy approach expand the solution step by step?
  • What are the potential benefits of this approach, and why might it be effective in some situations?
  • Are there any potential drawbacks to using the greedy approach, and are there any situations in which it might not be the best choice?
