ABSTRACT
In addition to the methods of selection presented in other sections of this chapter, other procedures for selecting parents of successive generations are of interest. These include the tournament selection typically used in evolutionary programming (Fogel 1995, p 137), soft brood selection offered within research in genetic programming (Altenberg 1994a, b), disruptive selection (Kuo and Hwang 1993), Boltzmann selection (de la Maza and Tidor 1993), nonlinear ranking selection (Michalewicz 1996), competitive selection (Hillis 1992, Angeline and Pollack 1993, Sebald and Schlenzig 1994), and the use of lifespan (Ba¨ck 1996).
