Abstract:
The topological features of genotype spaces given a genetic operator have a
substantial impact on the course of evolution. We explore the structure of
the recombination spaces arising from four different unequal crossover
models in the context of pretopological spaces. We show that all four
models are incompatible with metric distance measures due to a lack of
symmetry.
Keywords: Unequal Crossover, Recombination Spaces, Pretopology
