Abstract: We perform a statistical analysis of deterministic energy-decreasing algorithms on mean-field spin models with complex energy landscape like the Sine model and the Sherrington Kirkpatrick model. We specifically address the following question: in the search of low energy configurations is it convenient (and in which sense) a quick decrease along the gradient (greedy dynamics) or a slow decrease close to the level curves (reluctant dynamics)? Average time and wideness of the attraction basins are introduced for each algorithm together with an interpolation among the two and experimental results are presented for different system sizes. We found that while the reluctant algorithm performs better for a fixed number of trials, the two algorithms become basically equivalent for a given elapsed time due to the fact that the greedy has a shorter relaxation time which scales linearly with the system size compared to a quadratic dependence for the reluctant.
