Abstract:
1. A method comprising: accessing, using a computing device, a meta-solver, the meta-solver: generating first information based on the analyzing the problem using the meta-solver, the first information: identifying one or more first starting points for the first subset of sub-solvers; performing the first attempt to solve the problem using the first subset of sub-solvers and the one or more first starting points to generate one or more first results; providing the one or more first results from the first subset of sub-solvers to the meta-solver; analyzing the one or more first results from the first subset of sub-solvers using the meta-solver; based on the analyzing of the one or more results using the meta-solver, performing at least one of the following actions; performing a second attempt to find the solution to the problem using at least one of the second subset of subsolvers or the one or more second starting points; generating one or more second results based on the performing the second attempt; and providing the one or more second results to the meta-solver.
