Exact schema theory for GP and variable-length GAs with homologous crossover

摘要: In this paper we present a new exact schema theory for genetic programming and variable-length algorithms which is applicable to the general class of homologous crossovers. These are group operators, including GP one-point crossover uniform crossover, where offspring created preserving position material taken from parents. The based on concepts masks recombination distributions (both introduced here first time), as well notions hyperschema node reference systems in other recent research. This generalises refines previous work GA theory.
