  approximation algorithm
       
           An algorithm for an optimisation problem that
          generates feasible but not necessarily optimal solutions.
       
          Unlike "{heuristic", the term "approximation algorithm" often
          implies some proven worst or average case bound on
          performance.  The terms are often used interchangeably
          however.
