Properties

GenotypeSelection.GenotypeSelection Selection [get, set]
 Defines how to select genotypes to be subjected to the operator.
bool ProducesNewOffspring [get]
 Indicates whether the operator produces new offspring.
bool ApplyOnNewGeneration [get]
 Specifies whether the operator is applied to the old generation or the new one.
int N_children [get]
 If the genetic operator produces offspring, this specifies how many child genotypes are produced.
string Name [get]
 Gets the name of this symbol.
int N_Parameters [get]
 The number of parameters the symbol accepts.


Detailed Description

The base class of any genetic operator.

Genetic operators are applied to a given number of genotypes. They may produce new offspring like OnePointCrossover or alter the existing genotype(s) like Mutation.
