Abstract
In this paper we investigate the influence of (a) the
amount of variation generated in the genotype and (b)
the depth of application of variation operators on the
offspring fitness in genetic programming. Simulation
results on three common test problems indicate that for
certain features of the fitness distribution the
location of the variation may play as important a role
as the choice of the applied operators.
