law of least resistance
The Minimum Drag Principle states that, within the limits of ideal flow conditions, the most effective surface geometry of an object moving through a fluid is the one that causes the least amount of surface drag. This principle affects the surface geometry of almost every object that moves through......

annealing
Simulated Annealing Simulated annealing (SA) is a probabilistic technique for approximating the global optimum of a given function. Specifically, it is a metaheuristic to approximate global optimization in a large search space. From a practical perspective, simulated annealing is useful for comb......
