On the roles of redundancy and neutrality in evolutionary optimization

An experimental study was performed to explore whether it is neutrality itself or simply the larger neighborhoods associ- ated with neutral representations that influence the results achieved by evolutionary algorithms on NK fitness landscape problems. Markov chains were used to model the behaviour...
