 * (μ + λ)-ES

 * This strategy selects the μ fittest chromosomes from the population.
 * The promoted individuals are copied into the new population and mutated
 * λ times, but also carried forward unchanged. The total population size
 * is μ + λ. 
 * <br><br>
 * Two integer parameters are used to control this strategy: parents
 * and offspring. They are constrained in that they must always add up to
 * the population size, and must never be smaller than 1.
 * <br>
 * One additional parameter, report, controls whether a detailed log of the
 * algorithm's operation is to be printed or not. Reports respect the report
 * interval base parameter.
