Essays and Surveys in Metaheuristics

TLDR
A number of selected topics that were published in the simulated annealing literature during the past decade are reviewed, including generalized convergence results, new performance properties, improved variants, genetic hybrids, and approaches to general mathematical programming models.
Abstract
We review a number of selected topics that were published in the simulated annealing literature during the past decade. The emphasis of the presentation is on theoretical and general results. The presentation of the novel features include generalized convergence results, new performance properties, improved variants, genetic hybrids, and approaches to general mathematical programming models.

Tabu Search—Part II

TL;DR: The elements of staged search and structured move sets are characterized, which bear on the issue of finiteness, and new dynamic strategies for managing tabu lists are introduced, allowing fuller exploitation of underlying evaluation functions.

A generalized assignment heuristic for vehicle routing

TL;DR: This paper presents a heuristic for this problem in which an assignment of customers to vehicles is obtained by solving a generalized assignment problem with an objective function that approximates delivery cost and shows that it has outperformed the best existing heuristics on a sample of standard test problems.

Spin-glass models of neural networks.

TL;DR: Two dynamical models, proposed by Hopfield and Little to account for the collective behavior of neural networks, are analyzed and it is shown that the long-time behavior of the two models is identical, for all temperatures below a transition temperature ${T}_{c}$.
