Abstract

We present an alternative mapping function called the Bucket Rule, for Grammatical Evolution, that improves upon the standard modulo rule. Grammatical Evolution is applied to a set of standard Genetic Algorithm problem domains using two alternative grammars. Applying GE to GA problems allows us to focus on a simple grammar whose effects are easily analysable. It will be shown that by using the bucket rule a greater degree of grammar independence is achieved.
