/** \class OnePlusOneEvolutionaryOptimizer
 * \brief 1+1 evolutionary strategy optimizer
 *
 * This optimizer searches for the optimal parameters. It changes its search
 * radius and position using the grow factor ,shrink factor, and isotropic
 * probability function (which is a random unit normal variate generator).
 *
 * This optimizer needs a cost function and a random unit normal
 * variate generator.
 * The cost function should return cost with new position in parameter space
 * which will be generated by 1+1 evolutionary strategy.
 * Users should plug-in the random unit normal variate generator using
 * SetNormalVariateGenerator method.
 *
 * The SetEpsilon method is the minimum value for the frobenius_norm of
 * the covariance matrix. If the fnorm is smaller than this value,
 * the optimization process will stop even before it hits the maximum
 * iteration.
 *
 * Another way to stop the optimization process is calling the
 * StopOptimization method. At next iteration after calling it, the
 * optimization process will stop.
 *
 * This optimizing scheme was initially developed and implemented
 * by Martin Styner, Univ. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and his
 * colleagues.
 *
