Abstract

In this brief report we explore the energy landscapes of two spin glass models using a greedy single-spin flipping process, {\tt Gmax}. The ground-state energy density of the random maximum two-satisfiability problem is efficiently approached by {\tt Gmax}. The achieved energy density e(t)e(t) decreases with the evolution time tt as e(t)e()=h(log10t)ze(t)-e(\infty)=h (\log_{10} t)^{-z} with a small prefactor hh and a scaling coefficient z>1z > 1, indicating an energy landscape with deep and rugged funnel-shape regions. For the ±J\pm J Viana-Bray spin glass model, however, the greedy single-spin dynamics quickly gets trapped to a local minimal region of the energy landscape.
