NAME

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Combined - Combinator of several operators of the same kind, unary or binary

SYNOPSIS

  #Initialize using OO interface
  my $op = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Mutation 0.1 3
  my $another_op = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Permutation 2
  # Single operator with  rate of application = 3
  my $combined_op = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Combined [ $op, $another_op ], 3; 

Base Class

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base

DESCRIPTION

Some algorithms (such as Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Canonical_GA_NN) need a single "mutation" and a single "crossover" operator. If you want to combine several (like above, mutation and permutation), each one with its own rate, you have to give them a façade like this one.

METHODS

new( $ref_to_operator_array [, $operation_priority] )

Priority defaults to one, operator array has no defaults.

apply( @operands )

Applies the operator to the set of operands. All are passed, as such, to whatever operator is selected

SEE ALSO

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Uniform_Crossover another more mutation-like xover
