  2. Simulated annealing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulated_annealing

    In the simulated annealing algorithm, the relaxation time also depends on the candidate generator, in a very complicated way. Note that all these parameters are usually provided as black box functions to the simulated annealing algorithm. Therefore, the ideal cooling rate cannot be determined beforehand and should be empirically adjusted for ...

  3. Gradient descent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_descent

    Gradient Descent in 2D Gradient descent is a method for unconstrained mathematical optimization . It is a first-order iterative algorithm for minimizing a differentiable multivariate function .

    Comprehensive life science modeling and simulation suite of applications focused on optimizing drug discovery process: small molecule simulations, QM-MM, pharmacophore modeling, QSAR, protein-ligand docking, protein homology modeling, sequence analysis, protein-protein docking, antibody modeling, etc.

  5. Newton's method in optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method_in...

    The geometric interpretation of Newton's method is that at each iteration, it amounts to the fitting of a parabola to the graph of () at the trial value , having the same slope and curvature as the graph at that point, and then proceeding to the maximum or minimum of that parabola (in higher dimensions, this may also be a saddle point), see below.

  6. Adaptive simulated annealing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_simulated_annealing

    Adaptive simulated annealing (ASA) is a variant of simulated annealing (SA) algorithm in which the algorithm parameters that control temperature schedule and random step selection are automatically adjusted according to algorithm progress. This makes the algorithm more efficient and less sensitive to user defined parameters than canonical SA.

  7. Gradient method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_method

    In optimization, a gradient method is an algorithm to solve problems of the form min x ∈ R n f ( x ) {\displaystyle \min _{x\in \mathbb {R} ^{n}}\;f(x)} with the search directions defined by the gradient of the function at the current point.

  8. Stochastic gradient Langevin dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_Gradient_Langev...

    SGLD can be applied to the optimization of non-convex objective functions, shown here to be a sum of Gaussians. Stochastic gradient Langevin dynamics (SGLD) is an optimization and sampling technique composed of characteristics from Stochastic gradient descent, a Robbins–Monro optimization algorithm, and Langevin dynamics, a mathematical extension of molecular dynamics models.

  9. Multigrid method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multigrid_method

    For a discrete 2D problem, F-Cycle takes 83% more time to compute than a V-Cycle iteration while a W-Cycle iteration takes 125% more. If the problem is set up in a 3D domain, then a F-Cycle iteration and a W-Cycle iteration take about 64% and 75% more time respectively than a V-Cycle iteration ignoring overheads. Typically, W-Cycle produces ...
