Abstract

We investigate classifier systems' reward schemes by way of an example that highlights the interaction of local reward schemes and recombination. We contrast averaging schemes and maximizing schemes. Our example illustrates a sense in which certain recombination operators mesh more gracefully with averaging schemes than with maximizing schemes.
