In this paper, we propose a population-based optimization algorithm, Sequential Monte Carlo Simulated Annealing (SMC … of Boltzmann distributions in simulated annealing. We prove an upper bound on the difference between the empirical …-start simulated annealing method when the sample size is sufficiently large. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media, LLC. 2013 …
