Description
Résumé:By combining the aspect of population in genetic algorithms (GAs) and the simulated annealing algorithm (SAA), a novel algorithm, called fast annealing evolutionary algorithm (FAEA), is proposed. The algorithm is similar to the annealing evolutionary algorithm (AEA), and a very fast annealing technique is adopted for the annealing procedure. By an application of the algorithm to the optimization of test functions and a comparison of the algorithm with other stochastic optimization methods, it is shown that the algorithm is a highly efficient optimization method. It was also applied in optimization of Lennard-Jones clusters and compared with other methods in this study. The results indicate that the algorithm is a good tool for the energy minimization problem
