Hi,
There are different notations for CMAES that are quite similar.
A more conventional way of writing is:
x_i ~ N_i(m, sigma^2*C) , or,
x_i ~ m + sigma*N_i(0, C)
In essence, where the mutation ofsett is placed does not matter, e.g. m-sigma + N_i(sigma, C) is the same as the equation above.
You can assume any of these equations to be correct if it makes it more intuitive for you.
