Evolutionary Optimization in Noisy Environments

Bibliography

1. Noise in the fintee function. In this case, we mean the noise is additive and, in most cases unbiased. Research on this kind of noise focus mainly on how to reduce the influence of the noise. Two main approaches are available: explicit averaging and implicit avaraging.
2. Noise in the design variables or in the environmental parameters. When noise is present in designvariables or in environmental parameters, the main motivation is to find an optimal solution that is insensitive to noises. This is often known as search for robust solutions. The robustness can be defined based on the expected fitness given a certain distribution of the noise or the worst-case fitness, given a threshold of tolerance in performance or in design variables.
