More robust solutions are solutions that are less likely to be degraded by the genetic operators. This pressure for robust solutions can be used to explain a number of evolutionary behaviours. The experiments examine the effect of different types and rates of genetic operators on the evolution of robust solutions. Previously robustness was observed to occur through an increase in inoperative genes (introns). This work shows that alternative strategies to increase robustness can evolve. The results also show that different genetic operators lead to different strategies for improving robustness.
