Relative Building-Block Fitness and the Building Block Hypothesis
The building-block hypothesis states that the GA works well when short, low-order, highly-fit schemas recombine to form even more highly fit higher-order schemas. The ability to p...

Schemata as Building Blocks: Does Size Matter?
We analyze the schema theorem and the building block hypothesis using a recently derived, exact schemata evolution equation. We derive a new schema theorem based on the concept of...
