A method for quantifying the selection of the over-improvement parameter, $ε$, is demonstrated. The new smearing algorithm is compared with the original stout-link smearing, and Symanzik improved smearing through calculations of the topological charge and visualisations of the topological charge density.9 pages, 18 figures, submitted to Physical Review DHigh Energy Physics - Latticetext
