Before revision:  We perform a rigorous runtime analysis of a basic non-elitist evolutionary algorithm (EA), the (\mu,\lambda) EA, on the most basic benchmark function with a local optimum, the jump function.
After revision:  To improve our understanding of this mechanism, we perform a rigorous runtime analysis of a basic non-elitist evolutionary algorithm (EA), the (\mu,\lambda) EA, on the most basic benchmark function with a local optimum, the jump function.
