simulated_annealing 0.3.5

Simulated annealing framework for finding the global minimum of multi-variate functions.

0.3.6

• Added class DataLog, removed class DataRecorder.
• Removed optional parameter nGrid from method next() and perturb(). This applies to the classes Interval, SearchSpace, and EnergyField. Instead, interval can be make discrete by setting the class variable levels.
• Added static functions returning predefined search spaces to class SearchSpace.

0.3.4

• Extended the class SeachSpace. It now includes the static getters sphere, box, and triangle returning instances with these common geometries.
• Added the classes SingularInterval and PeriodicInterval.
• Added tests.

0.3.3

• Upgraded to list_operators 0.3.5.

0.3.2

• Amended input arguments of method anneal in class Simulator by removing the option to specify a certani Markov chain length function.
• Updated dependencies.

0.3.1

• Updated dependencies.
• Fixed potentially infinite loop condition in EnergyField methods
  • perturb,
  • tStart,
  • tEnd.

0.3.0

• Migrated to null-safety.
• The function nextInRange now has signature: num nextInRange(num xMin, num xMax, {InverseCdf? inverseCdf, int nGrid = 0}). The optional parameter ngrid enables returning discrete random numbers positioned along an equidistant grid.

0.2.2-nullsafety

• Renamed variables in class SearchSpace. x -> position, dx -> dPosition.
• Updated docs.

0.2.1-nullsafety

• Amended docs. Updated figures.

0.2.0-nullsafety

• Set k_B ≡1. Removed simulator parameter tEnd. Updated docs and figures.

0.1.6-nullsafety

• Amended docs highlighting the fact that when instantiating an object of type SearchSpace, parameteric intervals must be listed in order of dependence.

0.1.5-nullsafety

• Changed the signature and name of the function nextDoubleInRange(). The function is now called nextInRange() and returns an object of type num.

0.1.4-nullsafety

• Amended the calculation of dEnergyStart and dEnergyEnd used to estimate the starting temperature of the annealing schedule.

0.1.3-nullsafety

• Removed public access to internal variables of type List used by class EnergyField.
• Removed public access to variables temperatures and perturbationMagnitudes used by class Simulator.

0.1.2-nullsafety

• Amended message attached to Error thrown in method contains of class SearchSpace.

0.1.1-nullsafety

• Removed dependency on dart:io.

0.1.0-nullsafety

• Computationally costly methods of Simulator and EnergyField are now asynchronous.
• Class DataRecorder is now generic.
• Removed class AnnealingSchedule.
• Added dxMax and dxMin to the required list of parameters when constructing an object of type SearchSpace.
• Amended examples.

0.0.3-nullsafety

• Converted links to images to absolute links.

0.0.2-nullsafety

• Amended documentation: Converted hyperlinks to relative links.

0.0.1-nullsafety

• Initial version
