evolutionary algorithms, genetic algorithm, genetic programmingAbstract
Nowadays the possibilities of evolutionary algorithms are widely used in many optimization and classification tasks. Evolutionary algorithms are stochastic search methods that try to emulate Darwin’s principle of natural evolution. There are (at least) four paradigms in the world of evolutionary algorithms: evolutionary programming, evolution strategies, genetic algorithms and genetic programming. This paper analyzes present-day approaches of genetic algorithms and genetic programming and examines the possibilities of genetic programming that will be used in further research. The paper presents implementation examples that show the working principles of evolutionary algorithms.Downloads
