In general, it is not necessary to modify the APD file for the META mode.
However, here we are facing a special situation, because we are modifying the problem dimension
.
These variations of the
values require an update of the specification of the starting point xp0 of the (1+1)-ES.
A ten dimensional problem requires a ten dimensional starting point, whereas a hundred dimensional problem
requires a hundred dimensional starting point.
Therefore, a few lines of code were added to the interfacing procedure of the (1+1)-ES:
The setting of the starting point xp0 in the APD file is modified accordingly.
Now, we use
xp0 = 1.0
instead of
xp0 = "[1.0,0.0,1.0,0.0,1.0,0.0,1.0,0.0,1.0,0.0]"
which gives more flexibility.
This new setting can be used for any dimension.
The modified APD file is shown in Sect. 3.5.3.
