摘要: We demonstrate a powerful and general simulated annealing method to study combinatorial optimization problems. It combines the multicanonical method, which samples directly microcanonical entropy of system, with an elaborate but straightforward scheme. The idea is fully utilize information about local obtained during short Monte Carlo simulations for in iterative fashion. present results extensive investigation traveling salesman problem unit square.
