Optimization by simulated evolution and its application to cell placement

Abstract

dc:description

We introduce the new optimization method of Simulated Evolution (SE), which is designed to find near optimal solutions to problems which are hard to solve by standard methods. The new algorithm is discussed in detail and a variety of measurements are taken to evaluate its performance under various conditions. In addition, a theoretical framework is introduced to formally describe the algorithm. A Markov analysis is performed using this mathematical model to analyze convergence properties.
