OPTIMAL DESIGN OF BASE ISOLATED DEVICE BY TEMPERATURE PARALLEL SIMULATED ANNEALING

Temperature Parallel Simulated Annealing with Adaptive Neighborhood

In this paper, a Temperature Parallel Simulated Annealing with Adaptive Neighborhood (TPSA/AN) for continuous optimization problems is introduced. TPSA/AN is based on the temperature parallel simulated annealing (TPSA), which is suitable for parallel processing, and the SA that Corana developed for continuous optimization problems. The moves in TPSA/AN are adjusted to have equal acceptance rate...

Simulated Annealing With An Optimal Fixed Temperature

Contrary to conventional belief, it turns out that in some problem instances of moderate size, fixed temperature simulated annealing algorithms based on a heuristic formula for determining the optimal temperature can be superior to algorithms based on cooling. Such a heuristic formula, however, often seems elusive. In practical cases considered we include instances of traveling salesman, quadra...

Lighting Design by Simulated Annealing

In this paper, we present a lighting design framework for glossy real objects, starting from the reflectance field of an object. Using existing digital imaging software, the lighting designer paints the desired illumination distribution on a photograph of an object. This painted-on illumination is used to determine the light intensities which produce a shading of the real object matching the de...

Parallel Simulated Annealing Algorithms

n different nodes of the network. The two algorithms have been applied to the job shop scheduling problem (JSS) and the traveling salesman problem (TSP). Both algorithms showed very good performance in terms of solution time and solution quality. The rest of the paper is organized in the following fashion. Section II describes the simulated annealing technique. Section III presents the cluster ...
