Simulated annealing. Parallelization techniques, 1-10 (1992).
[For the entire collection see Zbl 0746.00020.]
This chapter is a short introduction to sequential simulated annealing. The author describes the standard setup, the speed of convergence, practical cooling schedules, acceleration by monotone concave distortions of the energy function and exponential acceleration by optimal multiple search. 20 references are given.
