1+1 Evolution Strategy (ES)

1+1-ES. The simplest ES. Read comments in the file for a deeper explanation and bibliography

This algorithm implements the simplest of all "evolution strategies" (ES), the (1+1)-ES. Each iteration, one parent is used to create one offspring using a Gaussian mutation operator (A random gaussian variable with mean zero and standard deviation 'sigma').
