Negative Drift in Populations
An important step in gaining a better understanding of the stochastic dynamics of evolving populations, is the development of appropriate analytical tools. We present a new drift theorem for populations that allows properties of their long-term behaviour, e.g. the runtime of evolutionary algorithms, to be derived from simple conditions on the onestep behaviour of their variation operators and selection mechanisms.
