Recent Results on No-Free-Lunch Theorems for Optimization
Christian Igel, Marc Toussaint
The sharpened No-Free-Lunch-theorem (NFL-theorem) states that the performance of all optimization algorithms averaged over any finite set F of functions is equal if and only if F i…

Neutrality: A Necessity for Self-Adaptation
Marc Toussaint, Christian Igel
Self-adaptation is used in all main paradigms of evolutionary computation to increase efficiency. We claim that the basis of self-adaptation is the use of neutrality. In the absenc…

On Classes of Functions for which No Free Lunch Results Hold
Christian Igel, Marc Toussaint
In a recent paper it was shown that No Free Lunch results hold for any subset F of the set of all possible functions from a finite set X to a finite set Y iff F is closed under per…
