Local Optimum
A core concept in optimization and search theory, referring to a solution that is best within the neighborhood of the current position but not globally optimal. In automated discovery tasks, agents making incremental modifications based on history are prone to becoming trapped in it.

Local optima are a core concept in optimization and search theory, referring to solutions that are already best within the neighborhood of the current position but not globally best; common means of escaping local optima include random restarts, high-temperature exploration in simulated annealing, and the forgetting mechanism proposed in this paper.
