Based on the microcanonical Monte Carlo method of statistical physics, we present a new deterministic algorithm for simulated annealing - Microcanonical Annealing (MA). It is shown to be a metaheuristic algorithm for the analysis of a variety of problems involving combinatorial optimization. Its performance has been evaluated by introducing the traveling salesman problem. When compared to traditional simulated annealing (SA) method, MA has yielded the best overall results - the new deterministic method generates optimal solutions much faster and better than SA.BiologyComputer Science, Information SystemsEngineering, EnvironmentalEngineering, CivilEngineering, MechanicalMaterials Science, MultidisciplinaryCPCI-S(ISTP)
