We then apply algorithms based on that work on a recently suggested testbed for such optimization problems (Challet & Johnson, PRL, vol 89, 028701 2002). This is the problem of finding the combination of imperfect nano-scale objects that results in the best aggregate object. We present experimental results showing that these algorithms outperform conventional methods by more than an order of magnitude in this domain. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0301459 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
