temp_law_vfsa

Arguments

T_in

the temperature at the current stage

step_mean

the mean value of the objective function computed during the current stage

step_var

the variance value of the objective function computed during the current stage

temp_stage

the index of the current temperature stage

n

the dimension of the decision variable (the x in f(x))

param

a float: the 'c' parameter of the VFSA method (0.01 by default)

T_out

the temperature for the temperature stage to come

Description

This function implements the Very Fast Simulated Annealing from L. Ingber.

Examples

function y=rastrigin(x)
  y = x(1)^2+x(2)^2-cos(12*x(1))-cos(18*x(2));
endfunction

x0 = [-1, -1];
Proba_start = 0.8;
It_intern = 1000;
It_extern = 30;
It_Pre    = 100;

mprintf('SA: the VFSA algorithm\n');

T0 = compute_initial_temp(x0, rastrigin, Proba_start, It_Pre, neigh_func_default);
mprintf('Initial temperatore T0 = %f\n', T0);

Log = %T;
[x_opt, f_opt, sa_mean_list, sa_var_list, temp_list] = optim_sa(x0, rastrigin, It_extern, It_intern, T0, Log);

mprintf('optimal solution:\n'); disp(x_opt);
mprintf('value of the objective function = %f\n', f_opt);
