Abstract

We have studied the cooling-rate dependence of approaching the ground state in several spin glass models within the microcanonical simulated annealing scheme. The final state energies of the two-dimensional (2D) and 3D Gaussian models and the 3D ±J model were found to depend on the cooling rate ΔE/τ, where ΔE is the energy decrement in the microcanonincal simulation and τ is the number of Monte Carlo steps per spin at each annealing stage. In particular the ground-state energy dependence on τ for all models studied shows a stretched exponential form for a wide range of the values τ. This behavior is very different from that of the conventional simulated annealing algorithms. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
