One of the oldest and simplest techniques for solving combinatorial optimization problems is called simulated annealing. This article shows how to implement simulated annealing for the Traveling ...

The Python program uses the PyNEC package to provide simulation. The program sets up random antenna lengths and finds the projected gain, attempting to optimize for maximum gain.

This is the second in a series of three papers that empirically examine the competitiveness of simulated annealing in certain well-studied domains of combinatorial optimization. Simulated annealing is ...

Simulated Annealing Optimization Using C# or Python Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research shows how to implement simulated annealing for the Traveling Salesman Problem (find the best ordering of a ...
