Evolution Strategies

(μ,λ) and (μ+λ) selection on continuous optimization test functions

Evolution Strategies use mutation and selection to optimize continuous functions. (μ,λ) selects only from offspring, allowing escape from local optima. (μ+λ) includes parents, ensuring elitism. The step size σ adapts via the 1/5 success rule.
