ANNEAL

ANNEAL
	Appendix A. Keyword Reference

Description

The ANNEAL method locates a set of minima on a potential energy surface by a procedure employing a mixture of non-local simulated annealing and gradient minimization. See Chapter 13, Simulated Annealing for discussion of the use of this method as well as an explanation of the dedicated keywords used in the annealing procedure. The energy (Heat of Formation) is minimized and is the criterion of search for ANNEAL. By default, TRUSTE is used in the quenching phase but BFGS, DFP, or EF can be used to override this default. NEWTON may also be specified for a subsequent quenching phase using a full Hessian.
