Hill Climbing

What Is Hill Climbing

Hill climbing is a method of mathematical optimization that is used in numerical analysis. It is a member of the family of techniques known as local search. It is an iterative algorithm that begins with an arbitrary solution to a problem, and then seeks to discover a better answer by making incremental changes to the initial solution in order to see whether it leads to a better solution. If the change results in a better solution, then another incremental adjustment is made to the new solution, and so on and so forth, until there is no possibility of any further improvements being found.
