Simple Genetic Operators are Universal Approximators of Probability Distributions (and other Advantages of Expressive Encodings)
Elliot Meyerson, Xin Qiu, Risto Miikkulainen
This paper characterizes the inherent power of evolutionary algorithms. This power depends on the computational properties of the genetic encoding. With some encodings, two parents…
