On simulated annealing phase transitions in phylogeny reconstruction
Abstract
Comprehensive study of the simulated annealing heuristic search in phylogeny. Investigation of specific heat and phase transitions for 34 real world multiple alignments. Each multiple alignment produces a unique specific heat profile. Specific heat profiles will have diagnostic value for algorithmic optimisation.
