Multiplicative Drift Analysis

We introduce multiplicative drift analysis as a suitable way to analyze the runtime of randomized search heuristics such as evolutionary algorithms. Our multiplicative version of the classical drift theorem allows easier analyses in the often encountered situation that the optimization progress is r...
