In this paper we investigate the phenomenon of multi-parent reproduction, i.e. we study recombination mechanisms where an arbitrary n > 1 number of parents participate in creati...

—Crossover forms one of the core operations in genetic programming and has been the subject of many different investigations. We present a novel technique, based on semantic anal...
The most controversial part of genetic programming is its highly disruptive and potentially innovative subtree crossover operator. The clearest problem with the crossover operator...
— In various nuances of evolutionary algorithms it has been observed that variable sized genomes exhibit large degrees of redundancy and corresponding undue growth. This phenomen...
The dynamic behavior of mutation and crossover is investigated with the Breeder Genetic Algorithm. The main emphasis is on binary functions. The genetic operators are compared nea...
