Original Abstract

The role of sex and limited lifetime in genetic algorithms (GAs) is presented. A genetic algorithm with sexual reproduction is a genetic algorithm using redundant information in each gene and it may use a form of dominance mechanisms to decide which gene is active in the phenotype. The sex of individuals is distinguished by two bits value stored in the chromosome. We designed a new version of a sexual genetic algorithm and investigated it along with test problems that are known to be difficult for haploid GAs. The adaptive significance of sexuality in GAs and the comparison with standard GAs using lifetime limit is presented.
