Optimization by simulated annealing.
There is a deep and useful connection between statistical mechanics (the behavior of systems with many degrees of freedom in thermal equilibrium at a finite temperature) and multivariate or combinatorial optimization (finding the minimum of a given function depending on many parameters). A detailed analogy with annealing in solids provides a framework for optimization of the properties of very ...
متن کاملOptimization of Distillation Column Operation by Simulated Annealing
Abstract: In this paper, an exergy analysis approach is proposed for optimal design of distillation column by using simulated annealing algorithm. First, the simulation of a distillation column was performed by using the shortcut results and irreversibility in each tray was obtained. The area beneath the exergy loss profile was used as Irreversibility Index in the whole column. Then, First Opti...
متن کاملImproved Hill Climbing and Simulated Annealing Algorithms for Size Optimization of Trusses
Truss optimization problem has been vastly studied during the past 30 years and many different methods have been proposed for this problem. Even though most of these methods assume that the design variables are continuously valued, in reality, the design variables of optimization problems such as cross-sectional areas are discretely valued. In this paper, an improved hill climbing and an improv...
متن کاملDiscrete Optimal Design of Trusses by Generalized Extremal Optimization
In this paper the first results of the application of the Generalized Extremal Optimization (GEO) algorithm to a discrete structural optimization problem is shown. GEO is an evolutionary brand new algorithm, devised to be easily applicable to a broad class of nonlinear constrained optimization problems, with the presence of any combination of continuos, discrete and integer variables. So far, i...
متن کاملVariable-Sample Methods and Simulated Annealing for Discrete Stochastic Optimization
In this paper we discuss the application of a certain class of Monte Carlo methods to stochastic optimization problems. Particularly, we study variable-sample techniques, in which the objective function is replaced, at each iteration, by a sample average approximation. We first provide general results on the schedule of sample sizes, under which variable-sample methods yield consistent estimato...
