NAME

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::VectorCrossover - Crossover for Algorithm::Evolutionary::Individual::Vector.

SYNOPSIS

  my $xmlStr5=<<EOC; #Create using XML from base class
  <op name='VectorCrossover' type='binary' rate='1'>
    <param name='numPoints' value='1' />
  </op>
  EOC
  my $ref5 = XMLin($xmlStr5);
  my $op5 = Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base->fromXML( $ref5 );
  print $op5->asXML(), "\n";

  my $indi5 = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Individual::Vector 10;
  print $indi5->asString(), "\n";
  $op5->apply( $indi4, $indi5 );
  print $indi4->asString(), "\n";

  my $op = new VectorCrossover 1; # Using ctor, with a single crossing point

Base Class

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base

DESCRIPTION

Crossover operator for a individual with vector (array) representation

new( [$number_of_crossing_points = 2], [$priority_rate = 1] )

Creates a new 1 or 2 point crossover operator. But this is just to have a non-empty chromosome Defaults to 2 point crossover

create( [$number_of_crossing_points = 2] )

Creates a new 1 or 2 point crossover operator. But this is just to have a non-empty chromosome Defaults to 2 point.

apply( $chromosome_1, $chromosome_2 )

Applies xover operator to a "Chromosome", a vector of stuff, really. Can be applied only to victims with the _array instance variable; but it checks before application that both operands are of type Algorithm::Evolutionary::Individual::Vector.
