Neutrality of genetic programming Boolean function landscapes is investigated in this paper. Compared with some well known contributions on the same issue, we define new measures that help characterizing neutral landscapes, we use a new sampling methodology, which captures features that are disregarded by uniform random sampling, we introduce...

We define a set of measures that capture some different aspects of neutrality in evolutionary algorithms fitness landscapes from a qualitative point of view. If considered all together, these measures offer a rather complete picture of the characteristics of fitness landscapes bound to neutrality and may be used as broad indicators of problem...

Neutrality of some boolean parity fitness landscapes is investigated in this paper. Compared with some well known contributions on the same issue, we define some new measures that help characterizing neutral landscapes, we use a new sampling methodology, which captures some features that are disregarded by uniform random sampling, and we...
