BIPOP Restart Strategy

Concept

BIPOP is a combined CMA-ES restart strategy introduced by Hansen (2009a) that simultaneously re-initializes the mean vector and covariance matrix while increasing the population size. It is cited within the GENESYS paper as a canonical example of how multiple core restart policies can be composed into a single restart scheme.

BIPOP Restart Strategy

Definition

BIPOP is a named restart strategy for the Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES). It was proposed by Hansen (2009a) and is referenced in the GENESYS paper as an example of how multiple core restart policies can be composed together.
