Abstract

In this paper we consider the upper and lower bounds on probability to generate the solutions of sufficient quality using evolutionary strategies of two kinds: the (1+1)-ES and the (1,λ)-ES (see e.g. [1,2]). The results are obtained in terms of monotone bounds [3] on transition probabilities of the mutation operator. Particular attention is given to the computational complexity of mutation procedure for the NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems.
