I-H-2 Simulated Annealing with Tsallis Weights - A Numerical Comparison

[Physica A 242, 250 (1997)]

We discuss the use of Tsallis generalized mechanics in simulated annealing algorithms. For a small peptide it is shown that older implementations are not more effective than regular simulated annealing in finding ground state configurations. We propose a new implementation which leads to an improvement over regular simulated annealing.
