Investigation of a Simulated Annealing Cooling Schedule Used to Optimize the Estimation of the Fiber Diameter Distribution in a Peripheral Nerve Trunk
… Specifically, a set of parameters known as the cooling schedule is investigated to determine its effectiveness in the optimization process.</p> <p>Simulated annealing is a technique for finding the global minimum (or maximum) of a cost function which may have many local minima. The set of …

Reconfiguration of distribution systems to reduce power loss using ant Colony Optimization and Simulated Annealing
… losses. Also, it evaluates every option with the cooling schedule and finally accepts the best reconfiguration. ACO works with a focus on processing the grid as a graph. The implementation is based on graph theory that allows establishing a rule framework that assures the constraints and fast …

A Simulated Annealing Approach to Designing Optimal Decision Trees for Classification, Prescriptive, and Survival Analysis
… is to define an appropriate simulated annealing cooling schedule that leads to a global optimal solution in practical runtime. We evaluate OCT-SA, OPT-SA, and OST-SA on widely-used benchmarking real-world datasets. The evaluation metrics are out-of-sample performances over unseen test datasets: …

Scheduling coal handling processes using metaheuristics
… of the initial solution. An inverse arctan-based cooling schedule function outperforms traditional cooling schedules as it provides the required diversification and intensification behaviour of the SA. The scheduling model solves within 45 seconds and provides good, practically executable results. …
