Hill climbing, Simulated annealing, genetic algorithms are different variants of local search algorithm. Hill Climbing use to find good solution for NP-hard problems. Simulated annealing was first used extensively to solve VLSI layout problems. It has been applied widely to factory scheduling and other large-scale optimization tasks. Genetic algorithm have had a wide-spread impact on optimization problems, such as circuit layout and job-shop scheduling.
