Crossover operators to control size growth in linear GP and variable length GAs [PDF]
In various nuances of evolutionary algorithms it has been observed that variable sized genomes exhibit large degrees of redundancy and corresponding undue growth. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as bloat. The present contribution investigates the

Structural Search Spaces and Genetic Operators [PDF]
In a previous paper (Rowe et al., 2002), aspects of the theory of genetic algorithms were generalised to the case where the search space, Ω, had an arbitrary group action defined on it. Conditions under which genetic operators respect certain subsets of Ω were identified, leading to a generalisation of the termschema.

Using genetic programming to learn and improve control knowledge [PDF]
The purpose of this article is to present a multi-strategy approach to learn heuristics for planning. This multi-strategy system, called HAMLET-EVOCK, combines a learning algorithm specialized in planning (HAMLET) and a genetic programming (GP) based ...

Information Fusion in Offspring Generation: A Case Study in Gene Expression Programming
Gene expression programming (GEP), which is a variant of genetic programming (GP) with a fixed-length linear model, has been applied in many domains. Typically, GEP uses genetic operators to generate offspring.

Genetic Algebras Associated with ξ(a)-Quadratic Stochastic Operators
The present paper deals with a class of ξ(a)-quadratic stochastic operators, referred to as QSOs, on a two-dimensional simplex. It investigates the algebraic properties of the genetic algebras associated with ξ(a)-QSOs.

A demonstration of the utility of fractional experimental design for finding optimal genetic algorithm parameter settings [PDF]
This paper demonstrates that the use of sparse experimental design in the development of the structure for genetic algorithms, and hence other computer programs, is a particularly effective and efficient strategy.

Automatic Combination of Operators in a Genetic Algorithm to Solve the Traveling Salesman Problem. [PDF]
Genetic algorithms are powerful search methods inspired by Darwinian evolution. To date, they have been applied to the solution of many optimization problems because of the easy use of their properties and their robustness in finding good solutions to ...
