Pattern Calculus: Computing with Functions and Structures
The pattern calculus is a new foundation for computation, in which the expressive power of functions and of data structures are combined within pattern-matching functions. The best existing foundations focus on either functions, as in the lambda-calculus, or on data structures, as in Turing machines, or on compromises involving both, as in... | | Introduction to Genetic Algorithms
The origin of evolutionary algorithmswas an attempt tomimic some of the processes taking place in natural evolution. Although the details of biological evolution are not completely understood (even nowadays), there exist some points supported by strong experimental evidence:
• Evolution is a process operating over chromosomes... | | |
