Effects of Code Growth and Parsimony Pressure on Populations in Genetic Programming
Parsimony pressure, the explicit penalization of larger programs, has been increasingly used as a means of controlling code growth in genetic programming. However, in many cases p...

Function choice, resiliency and growth in genetic programming
In this paper we examine how the choice of functions in a genetic program (GP) affects the rate of code growth and the development of resilient individuals. We find that functio...

Growth of self-canceling code in evolutionary systems
This research examines the behavior of inoperative code (introns) in the evolution of genetically robust solutions. Genetically robust solutions are solutions that are less likely...

Exploiting disruption aversion to control code bloat
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...

Algebraic simplification of GP programs during evolution
Program bloat is a fundamental problem in the field of Genetic Programming (GP). Exponential growth of redundant and functionally useless sections of programs can quickly overcome...
