This paper reveals the surprising result that a single-parent non-elitist evolution strategy (ES) can be locally faster than the (1+1)-ES. The result is brought about by mirrored s...

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, ...
The well-known Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) is a robust stochastic search algorithm for optimizing functions defined on a continuous search space RD ....
This paper introduces mirrored sampling into evolution strategies (ESs) with weighted multi-recombination. Two further heuristics are introduced: pairwise selection selects at mos...
Derandomization by means of mirrored samples has been recently introduced to enhance the performances of (1, λ)Evolution-Strategies (ESs) with the aim of designing fast and robus...
