Benchmarking the BFGS algorithm on the BBOB-2009 function testbed
The BFGS quasi-Newton method is benchmarked on the noiseless BBOB-2009 testbed. A multistart strategy is applied with a maximum number of function evaluations of 105 times the sea...

Comparing the (1+1)-CMA-ES with a mirrored (1+2)-CMA-ES with sequential selection on the noiseless BBOB-2010 testbed
In this paper, we compare the (1+1)-CMA-ES to the (1+2s m)CMA-ES, a recently introduced quasi-random (1+2)-CMAES that uses mirroring as derandomization technique as well as a sequ...

Investigating the Local-Meta-Model CMA-ES for Large Population Sizes
For many real-life engineering optimization problems, the cost of one objective function evaluation can take several minutes or hours. In this context, a popular approach to reduce...
