Fast Stochastic Global Optimization Methods and Their Applications to Cluster Crystallization and Protein Folding
Two global optimization methods are proposed in this thesis. They are the multicanonical basin hopping (MUBH) method and the basin paving (BP) method. <br /><br /> The MUBH method combines the basin hopping (BH) method, which can be used to efficiently map out an energy landscape a...
