Abstract: evolutionary algorithm. In this paper, the definition of the abstract selection and evolution operators is given. The abstract evolutionary algorithm, which describes the evolution as an abstract stochastic process composed of these two fundamental abstract operators is defined. In particular, a kind of abstract evolutionary algorithms based on a special selection mechanism is discussed. According to the sorting of the state space, the properties of the single step transition matrix for the algorithm are analyzed. Finally, we prove the existence of the limit probability distribution of the Markov chains.

Key words: abstract evolutionary algorithm, transition matrix, convergence
