We proposed an artificial intelligence technology called the simulated annealing genetic (SAG) method, which combined the genetic algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm to self-adaptively derive ...

Several techniques allow you to optimize things that are too hard to search exhaustively, and we’ve talked about simulated annealing and genetic algorithms before.

An annealing schedule is given for which the Markov chain is strongly ergodic and the algorithm converges to a global optimum. The finite-time behavior of simulated annealing is also analyzed and a ...

So besides simulated annealing, there are two more classical algorithms that are actors in this story. One of them is quantum Monte Carlo, which is actually a classical optimization method, but it’s ...
