Genetic programming has highlighted the problem of bloat, the uncontrolled growth of the average size of an individual in the population. The most common approach to dealing with ...
Abstract. Bloat control is an important aspect of evolutionary computation methods, such as genetic programming, which must deal with genomes of arbitrary size. We introduce three ...
The authors employ multiple crossovers as a novel natural extension to crossovers as a mixing operator. They use this as a framework to explore the ideas of code growth. Empirical...

Resource-Limited Genetic Programming is a bloat control technique that imposes a single limit on the total amount of resources available to the entire population, where resources ...
Code bloat, the excessive increase of code size, is an important issue in Genetic Programming (GP). This paper proposes a theoretical analysis of code bloat in GP from the perspec...
