Simulated Annealing: Fundamentals and Applications
āĻāĻ āĻ-āĻŦā§āĻā§āĻ° āĻŦāĻŋāĻˇā§ā§
The method of simulated annealing, often known as SA, is a probabilistic approach that can approximate the value of a function's global optimal value. To be more specific, it is a metaheuristic that allows for an approximation of global optimization in a vast search space when dealing with an optimization problem. The global optimal solution can be found using SA for large numbers of local optimal solutions. It is utilized quite frequently in situations in which the search space is discrete. Simulated annealing may be superior to exact algorithms like gradient descent and branch and bound for solving problems where obtaining an approximate global optimum is more important than finding a precise local optimum in a set amount of time. This is the case when finding an approximate global optimum is more important.
