Numerical Comparison of Strategies 173<br />

represents an average measure of convergence. It could, however, only be determined<br />

theoretically for two selected model objective functions. The one with concentric contour<br />

lines, or contour hypersurfaces, can be regarded as a special case of a quadratic objective<br />

function. The formula for the local rate of progress in both the two membered <strong>and</strong> the<br />

multimembered strategies has the form<br />

r is the current distance from the objective:<br />

'(r) =c r<br />

c = const:<br />

n<br />

r = kx (k) ; x k<br />

<strong>and</strong> ' is the change in r at one iteration or mutation<br />

Rearrangement of the above formulae gives<br />

'(r) =4r = kx (k) ; x k;kx (k+1) ; x k<br />

kx (k+1) ; x k = kx (k) ; x k 1 ; c<br />

n<br />
