An analysis of constructive crossover and selection pressure in genetic programming
A common problem in genetic programming search algorithms is destructive crossover in which the offspring of good parents generally has worse performance than the parents. Design...

On the constructiveness of context-aware crossover
Crossover in Genetic Programming is mostly a destructive operator, generally producing children worse than the parents and occasionally producing those who are better. A recently ...

Using Subtree Crossover Distance to Investigate Genetic Programming Dynamics
Abstract. To analyse various properties of the search process of genetic programming it is useful to quantify the distance between two individuals. Using operator-based distance me...

An Experimental Analysis of Schema Creation, Propagation and Disruption in Genetic Programming
In this paper we first review the main results in the theory of schemata in Genetic Programming (GP) and summarise a new GP schema theory which is based on a new definition of s...

Three interconnected parameters for genetic algorithms
When an optimization problem is encoded using genetic algorithms, one must address issues of population size, crossover and mutation operators and probabilities, stopping criteria...
