NAME

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Inverover - Michalewicz's inver-over Operator.

SYNOPSIS

  my $xmlStr3=<<EOC;
  <op name='Inverover' type='binary' rate='1' />
  EOC
  my $ref3 = XMLin($xmlStr3);

  my $op3 = Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base->fromXML( $ref3 );
  print $op3->asXML(), "\n";

  my $indi = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Individual::BitString 10;
  my $indi2 = $indi->clone();
  my $indi3 = $indi->clone();
  $op3->apply( $indi2, $indi3 );

Base Class

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base

DESCRIPTION

Inver-over operator for a GA. Created by Michalewicz et al., mainly for the travelling salesman problem. Takes two chromosomes, which are permutations of each other.

There is some information on this operator in this interview with Michalewicz: <http://www.dcs.napier.ac.uk/coil/news/feature48.html>. You can also download papers from his home page: <http://www.cs.adelaide.edu.au/~zbyszek/Papers/>.

METHODS

new( $rate )

Creates a new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Inverover operator.

create

Creates a new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Inverover operator.

apply( $first, $second )

Applies Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Inverover operator to a "Chromosome". Can be applied to anything with the Atom method.
