Title

Behavior Of Finite Population Variable Length Genetic Algorithms Under Random Selection

Keywords

Genetic Algorithm; Random Selection; Variable Length

Abstract

In this work we provide empirical evidence that shows how a variable-length genetic algorithm (GA) can naturally evolve shorter average size populations. This reduction in chromosome length appears to occur in finite population GAs when 1) selection is absent from the GA (random) or 2) when selection focuses on some other property not influenced by the length of individuals within a population.
