Abstract

Geometric crossover is a representation-independent definition of crossover based on the distance of the search space interpreted as a metric space. It generalizes the traditional crossover for binary strings and other important recombination operators for the most frequently used representations. Using a distance tailored to the problem at hand, the abstract definition of crossover can be used to design new problem specific crossovers that embed problem knowledge in the search. In this paper, we introduce the important notion of product geometric crossover that allows to build new geometric crossovers combining pre-existing geometric crossovers in a simple way.
