Commonly there are two types of local search approaches known to treat combinatorial optimization problems with very complex search-space structure: One is to introduce very complicated types of local move classes, allowing a bypass of high energetic barriers separating different minima. The...

Search space smoothing and related heuristic optimization algorithms provide an alternative approach to simulated annealing and its variants: while simulated annealing traverses barriers in the energy landscape at finite temperatures, search space smoothing intends to remove these barriers, so...
