A Comparison of Dynamic Fitness Schedules for Evolutionary Design of Amplifiers

High-level analog circuit design is a complex problem domain in which evolutionary search has recently produced encouraging results. However, little is known about how to best structure evolution for these tasks. The choices of circuit representation, fitness evaluation technique, and genetic operators clearly have a profound effect on the search process. In this paper, we examine fitness evaluation by comparing the effectiveness of four fitness schedules. Three fitness schedules are dynamic
