We propose a crossover method to combine complexly overlapping building blocks (BBs). Although there have been several techniques to identify linkage sets of loci o form a BB [4, ...
One of the most controversial yet enduring hypotheses about what genetic algorithms (GAs) are good for concerns the idea that GAs process building-blocks. More specifically, it ha...
The traditional GA theory is pillared on the Building Block Hypothesis (BBH) which states that Genetic Algorithms (GAs) work by discovering, emphasizing and recombining low order ...
Complex representation in Genetic Algorithms and pattern in real problems limits the effect of crossover to construct better pattern from sporadic building blocks. Instead of intro...
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...
