Abstract - Lens system design provides ideal problems for evolutionary algorithms: a complex non-linear optimization task, often with intricate physical constraints, for which there is no analytical solutions. This paper demonstrates, through the use of two evolution strategies, namely non-isotropic Self-Adaptive evolution strategy (SA-ES) and Covariance Matrix Adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES), as well as multiobjective Non-Dominated Sort Genetic Algorithm 2 (NSGA-II) optimization, the human competitiveness of an approach where an evolutionary algorithm is hybridized with a local search algorithm to solve both a classic benchmark problem, and a real-world problem.
