Evolutionary programming
open-in-new
<p>Evolutionary programming is an <a href="/facts/Evolutionary_algorithm/bo7eHlcA">evolutionary algorithm</a>, where a share of new population is created by mutation of previous population without <a href="/facts/Crossover_(evolutionary_algorithm)/fRBnRV7r">crossover</a>. Evolutionary programming differs from <a href="/facts/Evolution_strategy/88T0MMkv">evolution strategy</a> ES( μ + λ {\displaystyle \mu +\lambda } ) in one detail. All individuals are selected for the new population, while in ES( μ + λ {\displaystyle \mu +\lambda } ), every individual has the same probability to be selected. It is one of the four major <a href="/facts/Evolutionary_algorithm/bo7eHlcA">evolutionary algorithm</a> <a href="/facts/Programming_paradigms/7LwgRpB3">paradigms</a>. </p>
