Detailed Description

template<class EOT>
class eoEasyEA< EOT >

An easy-to-use evolutionary algorithm; you can use any chromosome, and any selection transformation, merging and evaluation algorithms; you can even change in runtime parameters of those sub-algorithms.

Change (MS, July 3. 2001): Replaced the eoEvalFunc by an eoPopEvalFunc: this immediately allows many useful constructs, such as co-evolution (e.g. game players), parisian approach (the solution to the problem is the whole population) or simple distribution of evaluations on a cluster. In case an eoEvalFunc is passed, it is embedded on an eoPopLoopEval This makes things a little uglier (required an additional "dummy" member

Note: it looks ugly only because we wanted to authorize many different constructors. Please only look at the operator() and there shall be light

Examples:

t-eoEasyEA.cpp, t-eoSSGA.cpp, and t-eoSymreg.cpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class EOT>

eoEasyEA< EOT >::eoEasyEA	(	eoContinue< EOT > &	_continuator,
		eoEvalFunc< EOT > &	_eval,
		eoPopEvalFunc< EOT > &	_pop_eval,
		eoBreed< EOT > &	_breed,
		eoReplacement< EOT > &	_replace,
		unsigned	_offspringSize
	)		[inline]

Ctor allowing to specify which pop eval function we're going to use.

Ctor taking a breed and merge, an overload of ctor to define an offspring size, and the pop eval function used. This allows to precise if we would like to use the parallel evaluation, for instance.
