Simulated Annealing: Practice versus Theory
Simulated annealing (SA) presents an optimization technique with several striking positive and negative features. Perhaps its most salient feature, statistically promising to deliver an optimal solution, in current practice is often spurned to use instead modified faster algorithms, “simulated quenching” (SQ). Using the author’s Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) code, some examples are given w...
متن کاملThe Theory and Practice of Simulated Annealing
Simulated annealing is a popular local search meta-heuristic used to address discrete and, to a lesser extent, continuous optimization problems. The key feature of simulated annealing is that it provides a means to escape local optima by allowing hill-climbing moves (i.e., moves which worsen the objective function value) in hopes of finding a global optimum. A brief history of simulated anneali...
متن کاملGSAT versus Simulated Annealing
The question of satissability for a given proposi-tional formula arises in many areas of AI. Especially nding a model for a satissable formula is very important though known to be NP-complete. There exist complete algorithms for satissability testing like the Davis-Putnam-Algorithm, but they often do not construct a satisfying assignment for the formula , are not practically applicable for more...
متن کاملQuantum Adiabatic Evolution Algorithms versus Simulated Annealing
We explain why quantum adiabatic evolution and simulated annealing perform similarly in certain examples of searching for the minimum of a cost function of n bits. In these examples each bit is treated symmetrically so the cost function depends only on the Hamming weight of the n bits. We also give two examples, closely related to these, where the similarity breaks down in that the quantum adia...
متن کاملSchool Timetabling in Theory and Practice A comparative study of Simulated Annealing and Tabu Search
School timetabling is way of distributing resources such as teachers and classrooms over a fixed period of time. This task can be difficult and very time-consuming. If the process of generating timetables is automated with the help of algorithms then this can help save both time and money for the educational institute. In this thesis a general timetable is presented along with a set of constrai...
