All Mutation Rates for the Evolutionary Algorithm
Andrew James Kelley
For every real number and for all , there is a fitness function for which the optimal mutation rate for the evolu…
All Constant Mutation Rates for the Evolutionary Algorithm
Andrew James Kelley
For every mutation rate , and for all , there is a fitness function with a unique maximum for which the optimal mutati…
The Runtime of Random Local Search on the Generalized Needle Problem
Benjamin Doerr, Andrew James Kelley
In their recent work, C. Doerr and Krejca (Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, 2023) proved upper bounds on the expected runtime of the randomized local search heuristic on g…
Fourier Analysis Meets Runtime Analysis: Precise Runtimes on Plateaus
Benjamin Doerr, Andrew James Kelley
We propose a new method based on discrete Fourier analysis to analyze the time evolutionary algorithms spend on plateaus. This immediately gives a concise proof of the classic esti…
