NAME

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::ArithCrossover - Arithmetic crossover operator; performs the average of the n parents crossed

SYNOPSIS

  my $xmlStr6=<<EOC; #Create it from XML
  <op name='ArithCrossover' type='binary' rate='1' />
  EOC
  my $ref6 = XMLin($xmlStr6);
  my $op6 = Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base->fromXML( $ref6 );
  print $op6->asXML(), "\n";
  $op6->apply( $indi4, $indi5 );
  print $indi4->asString(), "\n"

  my $op = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::ArithCrossover; #Create from scratch

Base Class

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base

DESCRIPTION

Crossover operator for a vector-rep individual

METHODS

create()

Creates the operator, but is more or less empty. Does not have instance variables

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. Returns the resulting chromosome
