On the Optimal Convergence Probability of Univariate Estimation of Distribution Algorithms

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper, we obtain bounds on the probability of convergence to the optimal solution for the compact Genetic Algorithm (cGA) and the Population Based Incremental Learning (PBIL). We also give a sufficient condition for convergence of these algorithms to the optimal solution and compute a range of possible values of the parameters of these algorithms for which they converge to the optimal solution with a confidence level.
