ExponentialMultiplicativeCooling: Exponential multiplicative cooling.

Description

The temperature at time k is the net present value of the starting temperature. The discount factor is lF$Alpha(). lF$Alpha() should be in [0, 1].

Usage

ExponentialMultiplicativeCooling(k, lF)

Value

Temperature at time k.

Arguments

k

Number of steps to discount.

lF

Local configuration.

Details

Temperature is updated at the end of each generation in the main loop of the genetic algorithm. lF$Temp0() is the starting temperature. lF$Alpha() is the discount factor.
