The parsimony pressure method is perhaps the simplest and most frequently used method to control bloat in genetic programming. In this paper we first reconsider the size evolutio...
Parsimony pressure, the explicit penalization of larger programs, has been increasingly used as a means of controlling code growth in genetic programming. However, in many cases p...
We introduce a new recombination operator, the Maximum Homologous Crossover for Linear Genetic Programming. In contrast to standard crossover, it attempts to preserve similar struc...

We extend our analysis of repetitive patterns found in genetic programming genomes to tree based GP. As in linear GP, repetitive patterns are present in large numbers. Size fair cr...
Program bloat is a fundamental problem in the field of Genetic Programming (GP). Exponential growth of redundant and functionally useless sections of programs can quickly overcome...
