Abstract

This paper introduces an evolutionary algorithm which uses multiple chromosomes to evolve solutions to a symbolic regression problem. Inspiration for this algorithm is provided by the existence of multiple chromosomes in natural evolution, particularly in plants. A multi-chromosomal system usually requires a dominance system and subsequently dominance in nature and in previous artificial evolutionary systems has also been considered. An implementation of a multi-chromosomal system is presented with initial results which support the use of multi-chromosomal techniques in evolutionary algorithms.
