Abstract

This paper investigates mutation strength control using Meta-ES on the sharp ridge. The asymptotical analysis presented allows for the prediction of the dynamics in ridge as well as in radial direction. Being based on this analysis the problem of the choice of population size λ and isolation parameter γ will be tackled. Remarkably, the qualitative convergence behavior is not determined by γ alone, but rather by the number of function evaluations λ γ devoted to the inner ES.
