Abstract
In this paper the simulated annealing algorithm coupled with the tabu search method for continuum optimization problems is presented. Basica lly, the new algorithm is obtained by assembling certain characteristi cs of the tabu search method into the standard simulated annealing. Th e numerical performance of the new algorithm is discussed based on the optimization of some classical test functions. Finally, an insulator geometry is optimized using this algorithm coupled with the boundary e lement method in order to test it in electromagnetics.
