Property Value

Choosing an appropriate initial guess can significantly affect the convergence speed and the quality of the solution. A good initial guess can lead to faster convergence and a more accurate solution, while a poor initial guess may result in slow convergence or convergence to a local extremum rather than the global extremum.

To choose an optimal initial guess, consider prior knowledge about the problem domain, such as known solutions to similar problems or heuristic methods. In some cases, running a simpler or less accurate optimization method first can provide a good initial guess for a more complex method.
