SOME CONSIDERATIONS ON EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHMS.

Abstract

This paper contains some results and speculations inspired by and related to H. J. Bremermann's work on evolutionary search. Bremermann's work studies the behavior of evolutionary alogarithms on two wellunderstood problems, linear programs and (in some earlier experiments) systems of linear equations. It is then possible to judge the effectiveness of various evolutionary methods for these problems by comparing with known results and alogarithms. Evolutionary alogrithms are search procedures, and therefore fall into the general area of artificial intelligence. Some of the results here may have relevance to this broader topic. The use of evolutionary analogy and terminology may suggest some significance for biology. This is all discussed. A theorem is presented which demonstrates the value of 'mutation'.
