Deterministic annealing algorithm: tutorial, application to pickup and delivery problem and computational aspects
The deterministic annealing (DA) method, used for the solution of several nonconvex problems, offers the ability to avoid shallow local minima of a given cost surface and the ability to minimize the cost function even when there are many local minima. The method is established in a probabilistic …

Clustering, coverage and aggregation methods for large networks
… method whose central part incorporates the Deterministic Annealing algorithm. Specifically, we solve a sequence of relaxed minimization problems by allowing soft cluster associations; as we gradually decrease the level of softness, the solution for the original problem is approached. We …
