The phrase "a starting solution" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to an initial or preliminary answer or approach to a problem or task.
Example: "Before we dive deeper into the analysis, let's consider a starting solution to address the issue at hand."
Alternatives: "an initial solution" or "a preliminary solution".
In this work a starting solution for this problem is found by using a greedy algorithm.
To obtain a starting solution, we apply a type of greedy algorithm that allocates one single sub-band to each cell.
A starting solution was prepared by mixing together TEOS, EtOH, and the water-based solution of PAA in the following weigh ratio (0.11 0.77 0.12).
For such a column generation approach, a starting solution with a set T containing all variables is feasible, i.e., all STRXs are mapped to the same set of frequencies; hence, the solution will have very high costs.
In this study, the atomic ratio of the Zn/(Zn + Sn) composition is close to 0.67 of ZTO nanowires, indicating that the ZTO nanowires were well crystallized and in good conformity with the Zn/(Zn + Sn) molar ratio of a starting solution of 2 3.
A typical color change of EtOH (a c) and (d e) i-PrOH solutions of Zn(CH3COO 2 × 2H2O, at different stages of the interaction of components: (a) starting solution 1 2 min after the preparation, (b) 30 min, and (c) 1-h heating at 60 °C; (d) 20 min after the preparation, (e) 60 min, and (f) 2-h heating at 60 °C.

A bank of GA's are used to get a good starting solution for a conjugate gradient algorithm.
The challenge is finding a "tool" capable to predict the suitability of a particular starting solution to undergo SD processes.
The MILP is first solved, the solution of which forms a feasible starting solution for the MINLP.
Then, a feasible starting solution is generated by means of the 2-regret insertion heuristic.
We envision two uses of our divide-and-conquer local search heuristic: (1) as a stand-alone approach for data visualization, and (2) to provide a good approximate starting solution for a nonlinear algorithm.
