In this paper, we present a stigmergy-based algorithm for solving optimization problems with continuous variables, labeled Differential Ant-Stigmergy Algorithm (DASA). The perfor...
In a companion paper, we presented a weighted negative update of the covariance matrix in the CMA-ES—weighted active CMA-ES or, in short, aCMA-ES. In this paper, we benchmark th...
The Covariance-Matrix-Adaptation Evolution-Strategy (CMA-ES) is a robust stochastic search algorithm for optimizing functions defined on a continuous search space RD . Recently, ...
Sequential selection, introduced for Evolution Strategies (ESs) with the aim of accelerating their convergence, consists in performing the evaluations of the different offspring...
Derandomization by means of mirrored samples has been recently introduced to enhance the performances of (1, λ)and (1 + 2)-Evolution-Strategies (ESs) with the aim of designing fa...
