#2217 accepted enhancement

Improve handling of box constraints in CMA-ES implementation

Reported by: abeham Owned by: bwerth
Priority: medium Milestone: HeuristicLab 3.3.x Backlog
Component: Algorithms.CMAEvolutionStrategy Version: branch
Keywords: Cc:

Description

Resampling is not an optimal technique for handling box constraints in real-valued optimization. It slows down search in phases where the shape of the distribution ranges beyond the feasible region. It is suggested to use e.g. a cosine transformation from R to a certain range in R.

"Lower and upper bounds a, b can be achieved with y = a + (b-a) × (1 – cos(x × π/10)) / 2, where for 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 this is a strictly increasing bijective mapping into [a, b]" (​Source)
