Constructor Detail

Crossover

protected Crossover(double probability)

Constructs an alterer with a given recombination probability.

Parameters:

probability - The recombination probability.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the probability is not in the valid range of [0, 1].

Method Detail

recombine

protected final int recombine(Population<G,C> population,
                              int[] individuals,
                              long generation)

Description copied from class: Recombinator

Recombination template method.

Specified by:

recombine in class Recombinator<G extends Gene<?,G>,C extends Comparable<? super C>>

Parameters:

population - the population to recombine

individuals - the array with the indexes of the individuals which are involved in the recombination step. The length of the array is Recombinator.getOrder(). The first individual is the primary individual.

generation - the current generation.

Returns:

the number of genes that has been altered.

crossover

protected abstract int crossover(MSeq<G> that,
                                 MSeq<G> other)

Template method which performs the crossover. The arguments given are mutable non null arrays of the same length.

Parameters:

that - the genes of the first chromosome

other - the genes of the other chromosome

Returns:

the number of altered genes
