Abstract: A hybrid algorithm is a collection of heuristics, paired with a polynomial time selector S that runs on the input to decide which heuristic should be executed to solve the problem. Hybrid algorithms are interesting in scenarios where the selector must decide between heuristics that are "good" with respect to di#erent complexity measures. (Update)
