Description: Neighbourhood functions are key components of local-search
        algorithms such as Simulated Annealing or Threshold Accepting.
        These functions take a solution and return a slightly-modified
        copy of it, i.e. a neighbour. The package provides a function
        neighbourfun() that constructs such neighbourhood functions,
        based on parameters such as admissible ranges for elements in a
        solution.  Supported are numeric and logical solutions. The
        algorithms were originally created for portfolio-optimisation
        applications, but can be used for other models as well. Several
        recipes for neighbour computations are taken from "Numerical
        Methods and Optimization in Finance" by M. Gilli, D. Maringer
        and E. Schumann (2019, ISBN:978-0128150658).
