- Greetings! I have a question for the net readers:
- What is the relationship (as well as main differences, if any) between
- genetic algorithm and evolutionary programming?
- Thanks,
- Liu, Ann Pheng

- I've seen the terms "genetic algorithms" (GAs), "evolutionary programming",
- (EP), "genetic programming" (GP), and "evolutionary strategies" (ESs).
- There are probably some others. The main difference it seems to me is
- whether the method includes recombination (crossover). For example
-
- EP is GAs without sex.

- ps. I am obviously using the genetic usage of the word "sex".
