We present a modified simulated annealing method with a dynamical choice of the cooling temperature. The latter is determined via a closed-loop control and is proven to yield exponential decay of the entropy of the particle system. The analysis is carried out through kinetic equations for interacting particle systems describing the simulated annealing method in an extended phase space. Decay estimates are derived under the quasi-invariant scaling of the resulting system of Boltzmann-type equations to assess the consistency with their mean-field limit. Numerical results are provided to illustrate and support the theoretical findings.

Abstract
We present a modified simulated annealing method with a dynamical choice of the cooling temperature. The latter is determined via a closed-loop control and is proven to yield exponential decay of the entropy of the particle system. The analysis is carried out through kinetic equations for interacting particle systems describing the simulated annealing method in an extended phase space. Decay estimates are derived under the quasi-invariant scaling of the resulting system of Boltzmann-type equations to assess the consistency with their mean-field limit. Numerical results are provided to illustrate and support the theoretical findings.File in questo prodotto:
