Description
Abstract—Simulated annealing is one of the most widely used algorithms for global
optimization. Due to its success, several variants of classical simulated annealing have been
proposed. These variants may use more sophisticated neighborhood selection strategies or
may employ different acceptance probabilities. Topology-aware simulated annealing is one
such variant that takes into consideration the branching factor of states when performing
uphill moves. The experimental evaluation done on topology-aware simulated annealing …
