on strategy parameter control by meta-es
This paper introduces simple control rules for the mutation strength and the parental population size using the Meta-ES approach. An in-depth analysis is presented on the mutation strength control using the sphere model. A heuristic formula for the outer mutation parameter will be proposed based on the theoretical analysis. Finally, a new evolutionary control strategy for the parental population size is proposed and evaluated empirically.
