Improved Cluster Structure Optimization: Hybridizing Evolutionary Algorithms with Local Heat Pulses

Cluster structure optimization (CSO) refers to finding the globally minimal cluster structure with respect to a specific model and quality criterion, and is a computationally extraordinarily hard problem. Here we report a successful hybridization of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) with local heat puls...
