....as a vector. The standard approach to an optimization problem begins by designing an objective function that can model the problem s objectives while incorporating any constraints. Especially in the circuit design community, methods are in use which do not need an objective function [1] 2] [3]. Although these methods can make formulating a problem simpler, they are usually inferior to techniques which make full use of an objective function. Consequently, we restrict ourselves to optimization methods which fully use the objective function. In most cases, the objective function is ....

....of them, TEMPERATURE RATIO SCALE (TRS) and TEMPERATURE ANNEAL SCALE (TAS) had significant impact on the minimization process. We will compare both ANM and ASA to DE1 and DE2. During our research we also wrote an annealed version of the Hooke Jeeves method [5] and tested two Monte Carlo methods [3] one of which used NP parallel vectors and the differential mutation scheme of DE. Although these approaches all worked, they quickly turned out not to be competitive. The Testbed Our function testbed contains the De Jong test functions as presented in [9] plus some additional functions which ....
