Initial results with coevolving dominance mapping
Josiah Poon · 2000
Chromosomes are diploid in nature. The advantage of having a diploid representation is that the inferior alleles are protected from the adverse conditions and they may become prominent when a favorable environment comes. Previous attempts to diploid representation largely used a pre-determined mapping scheme to resolve the allelic conflict in the same locus from different strands. This paper argues that an à priori and constant dominance mapping is not always desirable, but an evolving scheme is a more appropriate choice. This is especially true when the organism is left in a highly fluctuating environment. A coevolving algorithm is used
