Generalized Simulated Annealing [PDF]

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1995
We propose a new stochastic algorithm (generalized simulated annealing) for computationally finding the global minimum of a given (not necessarily convex) energy/cost function defined in a continuous D-dimensional space.

Time series forecasting using a TSK fuzzy system tuned with simulated annealing [PDF]

, 2010
In this paper, a combination of a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy system (TSK) and simulated annealing is used to predict well known time series by searching for the best configuration of the fuzzy system.

Simulated Annealing for Topological Solitons [PDF]

, 2000
The search for solutions of field theories allowing for topological solitons requires that we find the field configuration with the lowest energy in a given sector of topological charge.

Quantum versus classical annealing: insights from scaling theory and results for spin glasses on 3-regular graphs [PDF]

, 2015
We discuss an Ising spin glass where each $S=1/2$ spin is coupled antiferromagnetically to three other spins (3-regular graphs). Inducing quantum fluctuations by a time-dependent transverse field, we use out-of-equilibrium quantum Monte Carlo simulations

An application of simulated annealing to the optimum design of reinforced concrete retaining structures [PDF]

, 2001
This paper reports on the application of a simulated annealing algorithm to the minimum cost design of reinforced concrete retaining structures. Cantilever retaining walls are investigated, being representative of reinforced concrete retaining structures

Comparative Study of Multicanonical and Simulated Annealing Algorithms in the Protein Folding Problem [PDF]

, 1994
We compare a few variants of the recently proposed multicanonical method with the well known simulated annealing for the effectiveness in search of the energy global minimum of a biomolecular system. For this we study in detail Met-enkephalin, one of the

Simulated Annealing for JPEG Quantization

, 2017
JPEG is one of the most widely used image formats, but in some ways remains surprisingly unoptimized, perhaps because some natural optimizations would go outside the standard that defines JPEG.

Simulated Annealing

Statistical Science, 1993
Simulated annealing is a probabilistic method proposed in Kirkpatrick, Gelett and Vecchi (1983) and Cerny (1985) for finding the global minimum of a cost function that may possess several local minima. It works by emulating the physical process whereby a solid is slowly cooled so that when eventually its structure is "frozen," this happens at a minimum
