Write A Hillclimbing Algorithm To Find Maximum Value Of Function F13

This paper presents the implementation of a hill climbing algorithm to maximize the function f = |13 * value(v) - 170|, where v is a 40-bit binary variable, and value(v) is the number of 1's in v. The algorithm iteratively searches for a local maximum by exploring neighboring solutions generated through bit-flip mutations. To find multiple local maxima and potentially the global maximum, the hill climbing process is reset 100 times, with each run recording the maximum value found. The results are written to an output file separated by commas, indicating the local or global maxima identified during each run.

Methodology

The algorithm starts with a randomly initialized 40-bit binary string and evaluates the function. It then explores neighboring solutions by flipping a single bit at a time. If a neighbor yields a higher function value, the algorithm moves to that neighbor. This process continues until no neighboring solution improves the function value, indicating a local maximum. To identify the global maximum, the process is repeated multiple times (100 in this case), each time starting with a new random solution. The collected maximum values are written to an output file, separated by commas.

Simulated Annealing Enhancement

In addition to the hill climbing method, a simulated annealing algorithm is introduced to allow probabilistic acceptance of worse solutions, thereby escaping local maxima. The SA algorithm uses a temperature parameter that gradually decreases, reducing the likelihood of accepting inferior neighbors over time. Similar to the hill climbing, the SA process is reset multiple times to attempt finding the global maximum, and the maximum values are recorded.

Implementation in Python

Below is the Python code implementing both hill climbing and simulated annealing methods, along with instructions for running the code.

count_ones = bin(v).count('1')


return abs(13 * count_ones - 170)


def evaluate_f14(v):


count_ones = bin(v).count('1')


return abs(14 * count_ones - 190)


def random_binary_string(n):


return random.getrandbits(n)


def get_neighbors(v, n):

neighbors.append(neighbor)

neighbor_values = [evaluate_f13(n) for n in neighbors]


max_value = max(neighbor_values)


if max_value > current_value:


max_index = neighbor_values.index(max_value)


current = neighbors[max_index]


current_value = max_value

break  # No better neighbors, reached local maximum


return current_value

How to Run the Code

  1. Save the provided Python code into a file named optimization_algorithms.py.
  2. Ensure you have Python installed (version 3.6 or higher recommended).
  3. Open your command line interface (CLI), navigate to the directory containing the script.
  4. Run the script using the command: 
    python optimization_algorithms.py
  5. After execution, check the output.txt file in the same directory. It contains 200 maximum values (100 from hill climbing and 100 from simulated annealing), separated by commas, representing the local and global maxima found during the process.

Conclusion

This implementation demonstrates how hill climbing and simulated annealing algorithms can be used for binary optimization problems aiming to maximize specific functions based on the number of ones in binary strings. The repeated resets and recorded maxima facilitate the identification of both local and global optima, illustrating the strengths and limitations of each method. Such algorithms are widely applicable in combinatorial optimization, machine learning hyperparameter tuning, and other complex problem-solving scenarios.
