The role of population size is investigated within a neutrality induced local optima free search space. Neutrality decouples genotypic variation in evolvability from fitness varia...
While modern evolutionary theory has emphasized the role of neutral evolution, protein biochemistry and biophysics has interpreted the properties of proteins as largely resulting f...
Biological organisms employ various mechanisms to cope with the dynamic environments they live in. One recent research reported that depending on the rates of environmental variati...
In this paper we examine the effects of single node mutations on trees evolved via genetic programming. The results show that neutral mutations are less likely for nodes nearer th...
Evolutionary theorists have long been interested in the conditions that permit the evolution of altruistic cooperation. Recent work has demonstrated that altruistic donation can ev...
