Constructor Detail

VariableBitChromosome

public VariableBitChromosome()

The standard constructor.

VariableBitChromosome

public VariableBitChromosome(int length)

Constructs a chromosome of given length.

Parameters:

length - the number of bases

VariableBitChromosome

public VariableBitChromosome(Element c)

Creates a VariableBitChromosome via XML.

Parameters:

c - an XML Chromosome element

Method Detail

doCrossover

public void doCrossover(Chromosome father)

Non-homologous 1--point crossover. For each parent a single (different) X-point is randomly chosen. The genetic code from these X-points is swapped, hereby changing the length of the Chromosome.

Overrides:

doCrossover in class BitChromosome

Parameters:

father - a parent Chromosome (technically already a child).
