Abstract
In this chapter we present evolutionary programming (EP), another historical member of the EC family. Other EC streams have an algorithm variant that can be identified as being the “standard”, or typical, version of genetic algorithms, evolution strategies, or genetic programming. For EP such a standard version is hard to define for reasons discussed later in this chapter. The summary of EP in Table 5.1 is therefore a representative rather than a standard algorithm variant.
