—When SA is applied to continuous optimization problems, the design of the neighborhood used in SA becomes important. A lot of experiments are necessary to determine an appropria...
Abstract. In this paper we propose an optimal anytime version of constrained simulated annealing (CSA) for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems (NLPs). One of the goa...
A fast simulatedannealingalgorithmis developed for automatic object recognition. The object recognition problem is addressed as the problem of best describing a match between a hy...
We consider the problem of maximizing a nonnegative (possibly non-monotone) submodular set function with or without constraints. Feige et al. [9] showed a 2/5-approximation for th...
