Description
An algorithm for gauge fixing to the Landau gauge in the fundamental modular region in lattice QCD is described. The method, a combination of an evolutionary algorithm with a steepest descent method, is able to solve the problem of the nonperturbative gauge fixing. The performance of the combined algorithm is investigated on 84, [beta]=5.7, and 164, [beta]=6.0, lattice SU(3) gauge configurations. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6TJ5-4BMTMN0-3/1/17fcaa643a6848d4ea1fe488f7188dc9
