Simulated annealing algorithm and its application on parameter estimates of nonlinear geographical model

This paper analyzes that there are some linitation in calibrating parameters of some nonlinear geographical models and points out simulated annealing algorithm(SA) is a new algorithm,which has many advantages:global optima,robustness,high efficient,and so on. This paper makes an attempt to apply simulated annealing algorithm to find parameter estimates in nonlinear S- grow models.The result of the experience shows that SA is an effective algorithm for such problem and also a promising method for other geographical optimizing problems.
