摘要：How to dynamically adjust population size is one of the most important research topics in coevolutionary computation. This paper proposes a new strategy to dynamically adjust population size during a coevolutionary process. Three factors are considered in the strategy to describe the influence on population size. They are the natural growth of sub-populations, the internal competition of individuals from same sub-population and the interaction between individuals from different sub-populations. It is proven that the proposed strategy is globally asymptotically stable and also the convergence of a coevolutionary algorithm with the strategy is investigated. Finally, the behavior of the proposed strategy in practical use is illustrated.
