The Runtime of Random Local Search on the Generalized Needle Problem

no code implementations13 Mar 2024 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 generalized Needle functions.

Fourier Analysis Meets Runtime Analysis: Precise Runtimes on Plateaus

no code implementations16 Feb 2023 Benjamin Doerr, Andrew James Kelley

We also use this method to analyze the runtime of the $(1+1)$ evolutionary algorithm on a new benchmark consisting of $n/\ell$ plateaus of effective size $2^\ell-1$ which have to be optimized sequentially in a LeadingOnes fashion.
