Evolutionary Target

Minimal Coding Example

(a)

13

f(x, y) = x3 + y3 + 5x2

(+ (* (* (+ x 5) x) x) (* (* y y) y))

(b)

15

f(x, y) = x3 + y3 + 5x2 + xy

(+ (* (+ (* y y) x) y) (* (* (+ 5 x) x) x))

(c)

15

f(x, y) = x3 + y3 + 5x2 + 2y2

(+ (* x (* (+ 5 x) x)) (* (* y (+ 2 y)) y))

(d)

19

f(x, y) = y4 + x3 + y3 + yx2 + y2

(+ (* (* x x) (+ x y)) (* (* (+ (+ y 1) (* y y)) y) y))

  1. Evolutionary targets with corresponding minimal coding length m needed to code for them. In the last column an example of a genome with the minimal length coding for such a full solution.
