Abstract

An aspiration based simulated annealing algorithm for continuousvariables has been proposed. The new algorithm is similar to the one givenby Dekkers and Aarts (1991) except that a kind of memory is introduced intothe procedure with a self-regulatory mechanism. The algorithm has beenapplied to a set of standard global optimization problems and a number ofmore difficult, complex, practical problems and its performance comparedwith that of the algorithm of Dekkers and Aarts (1991). The new algorithmappears to offer a useful alternative to some of the currently availablestochastic algorithms for global optimization.
