Simultaneous Generalized Hill Climbing Algorithms for Addressing Sets of Discrete Optimization Problems

Generalized hill climbing (GHC) algorithms provide a framework for using local search algorithms to address intractable discrete optimization problems. Many well-known local search algorithms can be formulated as GHC algorithms, including simulated annealing, threshold accepting, Monte Carlo search...
