Simulated annealing with Tsallis weights a numerical comparison

We discuss the use of Tsallis generalized mechanics in simulated annealing algorithms. For a small peptide, it is shown that older implementations are not more effective than regular simulated annealing in finding ground-state configurations. We propose a new implementation which leads to an improvement over regular simulated annealing.
