We show that, for anyc>0, the (1+1) evolutionary algorithm using an arbitrary mutation ratepn=c/nfinds the optimum of a linear objective function over bit strings of lengthnin expected time Θ(nlogn). Previously, this was only known forc≤1. Since previous work also shows that universal drift functions cannot exist forclarger than a certain constant, we instead define drift functions which depend crucially on the relevant objective functions (and also oncitself). Using these carefully-constructed drift functions, we prove that the expected optimisation time is Θ(nlogn). By giving an alternative proof of the multiplicative drift theorem, we also show that our optimisation-time bound holds with high probability.
