Erratum: Simplified Drift Analysis for Proving Lower Bounds in   Evolutionary Computation
  This erratum points out an error in the simplified drift theorem (SDT) [Algorithmica 59(3), 369-386, 2011]. It is also shown that a minor modification of one of its conditions is sufficient to establish a valid result. In many respects, the new theorem is more general than before. We no longer assume a Markov process nor a finite search space. Furthermore, the proof of the theorem is more compact than the previous ones. Finally, previous applications of the SDT are revisited. It turns out that all of these either meet the modified condition directly or by means of few additional arguments.
