Ensemble strategies with evolutionary programming and differential evolution for solving single objective optimization problems by Mallipeddi Rammohan.

“…The performance of Evolutionary Programming (EP), a veteran of the evolutionary computation community depends mostly on the mutation operation, where an offspring is produced from the parent by adding a scaled random number distribution. In EP, the scale factor is referred to as the strategy parameter and is self-adapted using a lognormal adaptation. …”
