NAME

SimulatedAnnealing - An operator that performs the simulated annealing algorithm
                      on an individual, using an external freezer.

SYNOPSIS

#Define an algorithm
my $m  = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::BitFlip; #Changes a single bit
my $freezer = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op:LinearFreezer( $initTemp );
my $sa = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::SimulatedAnnealing( $eval, $m, $freezer, $initTemp, $minTemp, $numChanges );

Base Class

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base

DESCRIPTION

Simulated Annealing

METHODS

new

Creates a S.A. algorithm

apply

Applies the algorithm to the individual
