Gene Expression Programming

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Gene Expression Programming (GEP) is an evolutionary algorithm that evolves populations of computer programs in order to solve a user-defined problem. GEP has similarities, but is distinct from, the evolutionary computational method of genetic programming. In genetic programming the individuals comprising a population are typically symbolic expression trees; however, the individuals comprising a population of GEP are encoded as linear chromosomes, which are then translated into expression trees.
