Convergence Properties of (μ + λ) Evolutionary Algorithms
Ter-Sarkisov, Aram (Massey University, School of Engineering) | Marsland, Stephen (Massey University)
Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) are a branch of heuristic population-based optimization tools that is growing in popularity (especially for combinatorial and other problems with poorly understood landscapes). Despite their many uses, there are no proofs that an EA will always converge to the global optimum for any general problem.
