TY - JOUR T1 - An Improved Annealing Algorithm Based on Multi-Agent AU - JO - Journal of Information and Computing Science VL - 3 SP - 161 EP - 167 PY - 2024 DA - 2024/01 SN - 1 DO - http://doi.org/ UR - https://global-sci.org/intro/article_detail/jics/22840.html KW - Multi-agent, Annealing Algorithm, Global Convergence, Numerical Analysis AB - Considering the characteristics of Simulated Annealing Algorithm (SAA), based on the agents’ perception and retroaction to their surroundings, in this paper a new algorithm called Multi-agent Annealing Algorithm (MAA) is presented. And the global convergence of MAA is gotten. Finally, we make several numerical experiments to compare MAA with SAA and Genetic Algorithm (GA) by three classical test functions in optimization, which suggest that MAA is superior to GA and SAA.
