During the last thirty years there has been a growing interest in problem-solving systems based on the principle of evolution. Such systems maintain a population of potential solutions, incorporate a selection process based on an extrinsically imposed fitness of each individual, and include methods for creating randomly perturbed variants of current trials. One type of such system is a class of evolution strategies, i.e.
