Research best iterative method for restarts #9

Closed DrewSimtech closed 6 years ago

DrewSimtech commented 6 years ago

As a designer I would like to better understand methods for propagating initial searches. Initial impressions lead me to believe that random restart with Gaussian distribution would work best.

As described page 21 of Sean Luke's book: Essentials of Metaheuristics : https://cs.gmu.edu/~sean/book/metaheuristics/ I'm expecting a combination of unimodal and noisy. I suspect Gaussian is the best fit since it combines a unimodal peak in terms of search density, while maintaining a random distribution.
