Generalized hill climbing algorithms for discrete optimization problems

Generalized hill climbing (GHC) algorithms are introduced, as a tool to address difficult discrete optimization problems. Particular formulations of GHC algorithms include simulated annealing (SA), local search, and threshold accepting (T A), among. others. A proof of convergence of GHC algorithms i...
