This paper investigates how the use of the trivial voting (TV) mapping influences the performanceof genetic algorithms (GAs). The TV mapping is a redundant representation for binaryphenotypes. A population sizing model is presented that quantitatively predicts the influence ofthe TV mapping and...

When using representations for genetic algorithms (GAs) every optimization problem canbe separated into a genotype-phenotype and a phenotype-tness mapping. The genotypephenotypemapping is the used representation and the phenotype-tness mapping is the problemthat should be solved.This paper...
