Genetic L-System Programming: Breeding and Evolving Artificial Flowers with Mathematica

摘要: Parallel rewrite systems in the form of stringbased L-systems are used for modeling and visualizing growth processes artificial plants. A package implementing context-sensitive (m,n)-L-systems is presented which takes full advantage Mathematicas expression manipulation graphics capabili- ties. Furthermore, it demonstrated how to use evolutionary algorithms inferring encoding structures with some characteristic properties. We describe our Mathematica based genetic programming system MathEvol- vica , present an L-system via expressions, explain gene- rate, modify breed through simulated evolution techniques. 1 Modeling by
