In simulated annealing optimization method, what is the temperature to be used.

55 Views Asked by At

In each optimization problem, the cost function and its units are different. I was confused about determining the initial temperature to start the iteration with. As I guess, the temperature should also have the same units as the cost. If someone could point to a good source it would be useful. P.S. - I already read the book written by Laarhoven and Aarts on simulated annealing. It's too difficult to understand that book.
