Hello,
I used Octopus just a couple times before but have never realized that.I just ran 2-criteria optimization with it and realized population size is doubled for each generation. I was sure it would happen for the first generation (as it does on default in Galapagos and most other 1-fitness solvers) and it did.
I do not understand why next generations are doubled as well (i used population of 30 and its 60 4th gen in a row).
If I understand it right, the manual states that this would happen with ‘fillrandom’ checked (so populations are doubled until 2x population size of valid solutions are found. The thing is, I do not have any constraints or penalty functions, so I belive this should be met in first generation.
Is it a bug or am I missing something important on the theoretical side?
@robert_vier I’d be grateful for your input.
