Jamming Model for the Extremal Optimization Heuristic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Extremal Optimization, a recently introduced meta-heuristic for hard optimization problems, is analyzed on a simple model of jamming. The model is motivated first by the problem of finding lowest energy configurations for a disordered spin system on a ...
