Abstract

This paper explores a variant of an evolutionary algorithm which has no explicit parameter representation, but rather represents parameters across a common “genetic string” in a manner much more akin to the storage of genetic information in DNA. Results for several common test functions are given, and compared with the performances for a standard evolutionary algorithm.
