Tree structured rules in genetic algorithms

Genetic programming is an evolutionary optimization method that produces functional programs to solve a given task. These programs commonly take the form of trees representing LISP s-expressions, and a typical evolutionary run produces a great many of ...

A multiply-labeled tree (or MUL-tree) is a rooted tree in which every leaf is labeled by an element from some set $\mathcal{X}$, but in which more than one leaf may be labeled by the same element of $\mathcal{X}$. MUL-trees have applications in many fields. In ...

This paper presents a novel module placement based on genetic algorithm (GA) for macro-cell layouts placement that minimizes the chip area size. A binary tree method for non-slicing tree construction process is utilized for the placement and area ...
