What are most commons methods to measure improvement rate in a meta-heuristic?

When I run a meta-heuristics, like a Genetic Algorithm or a Simulated Annealing, I want to have a termination criterion that stops the algorithms when there is not any significant fitness improvement. …

Why does Simulated Annealing not take worse solution if the energy difference becomes higher?

In Simulated Annealing, a worse solution is accepted with this probability: $$p=e^{-\frac{E(y)-E(x)}{kT}}.$$ If that understanding is correct: Why is this probability function used? This means that, t …
