The Advantages of Landscape Neutrality in Digital Circuit Evolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper studies the role of neutrality in the tness landscapes associated with the evolutionary design of digital circuits and particularly the three-bit binary multiplier. For the purpose of the study, digital circuits are evolved extrinsically on an array of logic cells. To evolve on an array of cells, a genotype-phenotype mapping has been devised by which neutrality can be embedded in the resulting tness landscape. It is argued that landscape neutrality is beneecial for digital circuit evolution.

Digital Circuit Evolution: The Ruggedness and Neutrality of Two-Bit Multiplier Landscapes
The two-bit multiplier is a simple electronic circuit, small enough to be feasible for evolutionary design, and practically useful as a fundamental building block used in the synthesis of many digital systems. To attain understanding of the evolvability of this digital circuit, we consider its evolutionary design as a search on a fitness landscape. We study the structure of two-bit multiplier l...

متن کاملAssessment of Landscape Connectivity and Prediction of Migration Corridors for the Baluchistan Black Bear (Ursus thibetanus gedrosianus Blanford, 1877) in the Southeastern Habitats, Iran
The Baluchistan Black Bear (BBB), a critically endangered subspecies (CR), is distributed in the southeastern Iran. Modelling of landscape connectivity of the BBBs among habitat patches can be insightful for the conservation managers working in Iran. Our study was designed to identify the potential corridors among 31 habitat patches of the BBBs in Iran using the circuit theory method. Habitat s...
