Genetic Algorithms, Design, Chromosome Population Homomorphism
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the use of chromosome population homomorphisms for genetic algorithms. A chromosome population homomorphism (CPH) is a mapping from the chromosomes of a population to the location of members of the population. The CPH requires that the location on a chromosome where crossover and mutation are allowed to occur is correlated with the location of the chromosome in the population. This paper defines chromosome population homomorphism. It also gives a motivation for using them based on the schema theorem. . Finally, it evaluates the usefulness of the CPH for a practical genetic algorithm application involving engineering design at a major US shipbuilder.
