1. In a verifiable manner.
   • Near-synonyms: traceably, provably, confirmably
   • Obviously, an absolute guarantee of optimality is not possible through this type of heuristic search, but the eventual stability achieved leads to an ultrametric that is usually very good (although not verifiably optimal). Throughout this discussion it is assumed that the subsets of objects for which separate optimal ultrametrics are generated, or the number of object classes to be used in obtaining an optimal ultrametric beginning from that point, are all of a size that could be handled optimally (i.e., some number in the lower teen’s). 1997, Lawrence Hubert, Phipps Arabie, Jacqueline Meulman, “Hierarchical clustering and the construction of (optimal) ultrametrics using Lₚ-norms”, in Yadolah Dodge, editor, L₁-Statistical Procedures and Related Topics (Institute of Mathematical Statistics: Lecture Notes—Monograph Series; volume 31), Hayward, Calif.: Institute of Mathematical Statistics, →ISBN, section VII (Classification), page 464:
