===Other problems with guarantees=== Other problems for which the greedy algorithm gives a strong guarantee, but not an optimal solution, include * [[Set cover problem#Greedy algorithm|Set cover]] * The [[Steiner tree problem]] * [[Load balancing (computing)|Load balancing]]<ref>{{cite web |title=Lecture 5: Introduction to Approximation Algorithms |work=Advanced Algorithms (2IL45) β Course Notes |publisher=TU Eindhoven |url=http://www.win.tue.nl/~mdberg/Onderwijs/AdvAlg_Material/Course%20Notes/lecture5.pdf |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/http://www.win.tue.nl/~mdberg/Onderwijs/AdvAlg_Material/Course%20Notes/lecture5.pdf |archive-date=2022-10-09 |url-status=live}}</ref> * [[Independent set (graph theory)#Approximation algorithms|Independent set]] Many of these problems have matching lower bounds; i.e., the greedy algorithm does not perform better than the guarantee in the worst case.
