Abstract
We present an extension of continuous domain Simulated Annealing. Our algorithm employs a globally reaching candidate generator, adaptive stochastic acceptance probabilities, and converges in probability to the optimal value. An application to simulation-optimization problems with asymptotically diminishing errors is presented. Numerical results on a noisy protein-folding problem are included.
