Abstract

In this paper, we carry out experimental investigations that complement recent theoretical investigations on the runtime of simple genetic programming algorithms [3, 7]. Crucial measures in these theoretical analyses are the maximum tree size that is attained during the run of the algorithms as well as the population size when dealing with multi-objective models. We study those measures in detail by experimental investigations and analyze the runtime of the different algorithms in an experimental way.
