Abstract

The efficiency of a continuous version of the simulated annealing algorithm is evaluated by the expected number of steps to reach an ϵ-neighborhood of the global minimum value of the objective function. Different sampling procedures are analyzed and compared to the pure random search procedure. And as a side result, we obtain simpler proofs for some asymptotic results of Dekkers and Aarts (1991).
