Simulated Annealing with Tsallis Weights - A Numerical Comparison

arXiv:cond-mat/9710190 · doi:10.1016/S0378-4371(97)00203-3

Abstract

We discuss the use of Tsallis generalized mechanics in simulated annealing algorithms. For a small peptide it is shown that older implementations are not more effective than regular simulated annealing in finding ground state configurations. We propose a new implementation which leads to an improvement over regular simulated annealing.
