Abstract
Non-linear integer programming (NIP) is a NP-complete problem with extensive theoretical and practical backgrounds. Based on our proposed Darwin and Boltzmann mixed strategy, this paper presents a general stochastic iterative algorithm for the NIP problems. The algorithm synthesizes the advantages of the Darwin strategy and the Boltzmann annealing strategy. It converges asymptotically to the global optimums and has shown to be polynomial in complexity. The experimental evaluations also show that the proposed algorithm is more efficient than the simulated annealing algorithm.
