function [minimum,fval] = anneal(loss, parent, options)

% ANNEAL  Minimizes a function with the method of simulated annealing
% (Kirkpatrick et al., 1983)
%
%  ANNEAL takes three input parameters, in this order:
%
%  LOSS is a function handle (anonymous function or inline) with a loss
%  function, which may be of any type, and needn't be continuous. It does,
%  however, need to return a single value.
%
%  PARENT is a vector with initial guess parameters. You must input an
%  initial guess.
%
%  OPTIONS is a structure with settings for the simulated annealing. If no
%  OPTIONS structure is provided, ANNEAL uses a default structure. OPTIONS
%  can contain any or all of the following fields (missing fields are
%  filled with default values):
%
%       Verbosity: Controls output to the screen.
%                  0 suppresses all output
%                  1 gives final report only [default]
%                  2 gives temperature changes and final report 
%       Generator: Generates a new solution from an old one.
%                  Any function handle that takes a solution as input and
%                  gives a valid solution (i.e. some point in the solution
%                  space) as output.
%                  The default function generates a row vector which
%                  slightly differs from the input vector in one element:
%                  @(x) (x+(randperm(length(x))==length(x))*randn/100)
%                  Other examples of possible solution generators:
%                  @(x) (rand(3,1)): Picks a random point in the unit cube
%                  @(x) (ceil([9 5].*rand(2,1))): Picks a point in a 9-by-5
%                                                 discrete grid
%        InitTemp: The initial temperature, can be any positive number.
%                  Default is 1.
%        StopTemp: Temperature at which to stop, can be any positive number
%                  smaller than InitTemp. 
%                  Default is 1e-8.
%         StopVal: Value at which to stop immediately, can be any output of
%                  LOSS that is sufficiently low for you.
%                  Default is -Inf.
%       CoolSched: Generates a new temperature from the previous one.
%                  Any function handle that takes a scalar as input and
%                  returns a smaller but positive scalar as output. 
%                  Default is @(T) (.8*T)
%      MaxConsRej: Maximum number of consecutive rejections, can be any
%                  positive number.
%                  Default is 1000.
%        MaxTries: Maximum number of tries within one temperature, can be
%                  any positive number.
%                  Default is 300.
%      MaxSuccess: Maximum number of successes within one temperature, can
%                  be any positive number.
%                  Default is 20.
%
%
%  Usage:
%     [MINIMUM,FVAL] = ANNEAL(LOSS,NEWSOL,[OPTIONS]);
%          MINIMUM is the solution which generated the smallest encountered
%          value when input into LOSS.
%          FVAL is the value of the LOSS function evaluated at MINIMUM.
%     OPTIONS = ANNEAL();
%          OPTIONS is the default options structure.
%
%
%  Example:
%     The so-called "six-hump camelback" function has several local minima
%     in the range -3<=x<=3 and -2<=y<=2. It has two global minima, namely
%     f(-0.0898,0.7126) = f(0.0898,-0.7126) = -1.0316. We can define and
%     minimise it as follows:
%          camel = @(x,y)(4-2.1*x.^2+x.^4/3).*x.^2+x.*y+4*(y.^2-1).*y.^2;
%          loss = @(p)camel(p(1),p(2));
%          [x f] = ANNEAL(loss,[0 0])
%     We get output:
%               Initial temperature:     	1
%               Final temperature:       	3.21388e-007
%               Consecutive rejections:  	1027
%               Number of function calls:	6220
%               Total final loss:        	-1.03163
%               x =
%                  -0.0899    0.7127
%               f =
%                  -1.0316
%     Which reasonably approximates the analytical global minimum (note
%     that due to randomness, your results will likely not be exactly the
%     same).
