Connection between mean update in CMA-ES and gradient of expected fitness
I currently learn about black-box optimization and CMA-ES. Now, I try to understand some of the theoretical foundations of it. The update of the mean in classic CMA-ES is as follows:
$$m \leftarrow m +...

What metric should be minimized when searching from a subset of points that are as uniformly distributed across the space as possible?
Given a set of n points, I have to find a subset of given size m<n, so that the m points are as uniformly distributed as possible across the volume enclosed by the convex hull of set n. See example ...

Multi-objective optimization problem - fitness
My task is to find a solution for a multiobjective optimization problem, which has two objectives. I'm solving this with a genetic algorithm by using a fitness function, which works fine.
My question ...

How do I design this multi-objective fitness function for use with genetic algorithm?
I have a multi-objective optimization problem that I am applying genetic algorithm (GA) to solve. Currently, there are only 2 objectives:
minimize cost
maximize validity
The cost minimization is ...
