This lecture covers the principles of greedy heuristics in optimization problems, including step-by-step construction of feasible solutions, knapsack and traveling salesman problems, and integrality constraints. It also discusses issues with rounding and compares optimization methods like exact methods, approximation algorithms, and heuristics.
