Abstract
Bloat may occur when evolution allows chromosome growth. Recently it has been shown that elitism can inhibit bloat. Here we study interactions between growth, elitism, and fitness landscapes. Our results show that in some cases elitism neither constrains growth nor increases the rate of fitness accumulation, and when elitism does constrain growth it may stall the search completely.
