                            - The significance of this paper is a new form of drift analysis, called average drift analysis, for theoretically comparing the running time of individual-based and population-based evolutionary algorithms but without estimating their running time. This work has been recognised in [https://doi.org/10.1109/TEVC.2019.2921547] as it “rigorously analyzed the effect of population size on the computation time of EAs using mutation and elitist selection”, in [https://doi.org/10.1007/s12065-018-0153-5] as one of “more recent studies on the topic”. It was also selected in literature review [https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-29414-4_2]. The research was collaborated with University of Birmingham.
