Globally convergent evolution strategies

Markov chain theory [18] provides powerful tools to prove linear convergence of randomized algorithms. The general approach consists in finding a class of objective functions for

Considering the “object selected ” to solve a new instance, algorithm scheduling approach defines time slices and running order for each portfolio algorithm and, if a

We also show that different covariance matrices for the sampling distribution correspond to a change of norm of the search space, and that this implies that adapting the

In this paper, we establish almost sure linear convergence and a bound on the expected hitting time of an ES, namely the (1 + 1)-ES with (generalized) one- fifth success rule and

In this paper we have proven the local convergence of the continuous time model associ- ated to step-size adaptive ESs towards local minima on monotonic C 2 -composite func- tions1.
