Genetic Programming: Analysis of Optimal Mutation Rates in a Problem with Varying Difficulty
In this paper we test whether a correlation exists between the optimal mutation rate and problem difficulty. We find that the range of optimal mutation rates is inversely proporti...

Genetic programming: optimal population sizes for varying complexity problems
The population size in evolutionary computation is a significant parameter affecting computational effort and the ability to successfully evolve solutions. We find that population...

Genetic programming: parametric analysis of structure altering mutation techniques
We hypothesize that the relationship between parameter settings, speci cally parameters controlling mutation, and performance is non-linear in genetic programs. Genetic programmin...

Softening the Structural Difficulty in Genetic Programming with TAG-Based Representation and Insertion/Deletion Operators
In a series of papers [3-8], Daida et. al. highlighted the difficulties posed to Genetic Programming (GP) by the complexity of the structural search space, and attributed the probl...

A Study of the Role of Single Node Mutation in Genetic Programming
In this paper we examine the effects of single node mutations on trees evolved via genetic programming. The results show that neutral mutations are less likely for nodes nearer th...
