NAME

    SimulatedAnnealing - An operator that performs the simulated annealing algorithm
                          on an individual, using an external freezer.

SYNOPSIS

  #Define an algorithm
  my $m  = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::BitFlip; #Changes a single bit
  my $freezer = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op:LinearFreezer( $initTemp );
  my $sa = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::SimulatedAnnealing( $eval, $m, $freezer, $initTemp, $minTemp, $numChanges );

Base Class

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base

DESCRIPTION

Simulated Annealing

METHODS

new

Creates a S.A. algorithm

apply

Applies the algorithm to the individual
