Mutation Strength Adaptation of the $(\mu /{\mu }_I,\lambda )$-ES for Large Population Sizes on the Sphere Function

Amir Omeradzic, Hans-Georg Beyer

The mutation strength adaptation properties of a multi-recombinative $(\mu /{\mu }_I,\lambda )$-ES are studied for isotropic mutations. To this end, standard implementations of cumulative step-s…
