Other Applications

Simulated annealing can be effective in solving a wide range of combinatorial optimization problems. A short list is provided below.

• Path Generation

• Image Reconstruction

• Task Assignment and Scheduling

• Circuit Layout

• Global Routing

• Visual Object Detection and Recognition

• Design Specialized Digital Filters

It should be noted that since simulated annealing is a random process, finding a solution using the algorithm can take time, and in some cases, it may never converge on a solution at all.
