Constructor Detail

CombineAlterer

public CombineAlterer(BinaryOperator<G> combiner,
                      double probability)

Create a new combiner alterer with the given arguments.

Parameters:

combiner - the function used for combining two genes

probability - The recombination probability.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the probability is not in the valid range of [0, 1]

NullPointerException - if the given combiner is null

CombineAlterer

public CombineAlterer(BinaryOperator<G> combiner)

Create a new combiner alterer with the given arguments.

Parameters:

combiner - the function used for combining two genes

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the probability is not in the valid range of [0, 1]

NullPointerException - if the given combiner is null

Method Detail

combiner

public BinaryOperator<G> combiner()

Return the combiner function, used by this alterer.

Returns:

the combiner function, used by this alterer

recombine

protected int recombine(MSeq<Phenotype<G,C>> population,
                        int[] individuals,
                        long generation)

Description copied from class: Recombinator

Recombination template method. This method is called 0 to n times. It is guaranteed that this method is only called by one thread.

Specified by:

recombine in class Recombinator<G extends Gene<?,G>,C extends Comparable<? super C>>

Parameters:

population - the population to recombine

individuals - the array with the indexes of the individuals which are involved in the recombination step. The length of the array is Recombinator.order(). The first individual is the primary individual.

generation - the current generation.

Returns:

the number of genes that has been altered.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
