Optimal acceptance probability for simulated annealing |
|
| Abstract: | The objective of this note is two-fold: first, to prescribe a rather general form for the acceptance probability which will attain the Gibbs distribution for a stationary Markov chain; second, to find the particular one that will maximize the rate at which equilibrium is reached. |
| Keywords: | Gibbs field Markov chain Boltzmann machine simulated annealing |
