Evolution and Acquisition of Modules in Cartesian Genetic Programming
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents for the first time automatic module acquisition and evolution within the graph based Cartesian Genetic Programming method. The method has been tested on a set of even parity problems and compared with Cartesian Genetic Programming without modules. Results are given that show that the new modular method evolves solutions up to 20 times quicker than the original non-modular method and that the speedup is more pronounced on larger problems. Analysis of some of the evolved modules shows that often they are lower order parity functions. Prospects for further improvement of the method are discussed.

Towards Advanced Phenotypic Mutations in Cartesian Genetic Programming
Cartesian Genetic Programming is often used with a point mutation as the sole genetic operator. In this paper, we propose two phenotypic mutation techniques and take a step towards advanced phenotypic mutations in Cartesian Genetic Programming. The functionality of the proposed mutations is inspired by biological evolution which mutates DNA sequences by inserting and deleting nucleotides. Exper...
متن کاملEmbedded Cartesian Genetic Programming and the Lawnmower and Hierarchical-if-and-only-if Problems Genetic Programming Track
Embedded Cartesian Genetic Programming (ECGP) is an extension of the directed graph based Cartesian Genetic Programming (CGP), which is capable of automatically acquiring, evolving and re-using partial solutions in the form of modules. In this paper, we apply for the first time, CGP and ECGP to the well known Lawnmower problem and to the Hierarchical-if-and-Only-if problem. The latter is normal...
متن کاملCoevolving High-Level Representations
Several evolutionary simulations allow for a dynamic resizing of the genotype. This is an important alternative to constraining the genotype’s maximum size and complexity. In this paper, we add an additional dynamic to simulated evolution with the description of a genetic algorithm that coevolves its representation language with the genotypes. We introduce two mutation operators that permit the...

متن کاملA Method for Solving Optimal Control Problems Using Genetic Programming
This paper deals with a novel method for solving optimal control problems based on genetic programming. This approach produces some trial solutions and seeks the best of them. If the solution cannot be expressed in a closed analytical form then our method produces an approximation with a controlled level of accuracy. Using numerical examples, we will demonstrate how to use the results.
