Based on the simulated annealing technique and the constrained form of power system optimization problems, this paper develops a simulated-annealing-based optimization algorithm for power-system optimization problems. The algorithm is general, and it possesses the ability to determine the global opt

## a b s t r a c t The vehicle routing problem (VRP) has been addressed in many research papers. Only a few of them take time-dependent travel speeds into consideration. Moreover, most research related to the VRP aims to minimize total travel time or travel distance. In recent years, reducing carb
In this paper we study the performance of two stochastic search methods: Genetic Algorithms and Simulated Annealing, applied to the optimization of pin-jointed steel bar structures. We show that it is possible to embed these two schemes into a single parametric family of algorithms, and that optimal
## a b s t r a c t Facilities location problem deals with the optimization of location of manufacturing facilities like machines, departments, etc. in the shop floor. This problem greatly affects performance of a manufacturing system. It is assumed in this paper that there are multiple products to
