Abstract. In this paper we discuss Evolution Strategies within the context of interactive optimization. Different modes of interaction will be classified and compared. A focus will...
After an outline of the history of evolutionary algorithms, a new ( ) variant of the evolution strategies is introduced formally. Though not comprising all degrees of freedom, it i...
The dynamic optimization problem concerns finding an optimum in a changing environment. In the tracking problem, the optimizer should be able to follow the optimum’s changes ov...

Self-adaptation of the mutation strengths is a powerful mechanism in evolution strategies (ES), but it can fail. As a consequence premature convergence or ending up in a local opt...
This paper introduces mirrored sampling into evolution strategies (ESs) with weighted multi-recombination. Two further heuristics are introduced: pairwise selection selects at mos...
