A Review of Theoretical and Experimental Results on Schemata in Genetic Programming

, and . Technical Report, CSRP-97-27. University of Birmingham, B15 2TT, UK, (November 1997)

Abstract

Schemata and the schema theorem, although criticised, are often used to explain why genetic algorithms (GAs) work. A considerable research effort has been produced recently to extend the GA schema theory to Genetic Programming (GP). In this paper we review the main results available to date in the theory of schemata for GP and some recent experimental work on schemata.
