| contents | This paper proposes RCMAES, a novel variant of the Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) for CEC benchmark optimization. RCMAES integrates a dimension-dependent nonlinear population-size reduction strategy with an adaptive restart mechanism within a pure CMA-ES framework. RCMAES is evaluated on three benchmark suites (CEC2017, CEC2020, and CEC2022) and compared with state-of-the-art DE algorithms as well as its closely related counterpart, BIPOP-aCMAES. Experimental results show that RCMAES achieves competitive and robust performance across all benchmarks. |
