Title
Finding the Global Minimum of a Function using Simulated Annealing
Description
We search the global minimum of a function exhibiting several local minima. Built-in function of Mathematica will often find one of the local minima. We show how simulated annealing finds the global minimum rapidly. This example was inspired from a Matlab program available at the following MIT OpenCourseWare course web page: http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Chemical-Engineering/10-34Fall-2005/CourseHome/index.htm
