The challenge of maximizing the diversity of a collection of points arises in a variety of settings, including the setting of search methods for hard optimization problems. One ver...
Local search algorithms often get trapped in local optima. Algorithms such as tabu search and simulated annealing 'escape' local optima by accepting nonimproving moves. ...
