makeRecombinator function

Construct a recombination operator.

Helper function which constructs a recombinator, i. e., a recombination operator.

makeRecombinator(
  recombinator,
  supported = getAvailableRepresentations(),
  n.parents = 2L,
  n.children = NULL
)

Arguments

• recombinator: [function]

  Actual mutation operator.

• supported: [character]

  Vector of strings/names of supported parameter representations. Possible choices: permutation , float , binary or custom .

• n.parents: [integer(1)]

  Number of parents supported.

• n.children: [integer(1)]

  How many children does the recombinator produce? Default is 1.

Returns

[ecr_recombinator] Recombinator object.

Note

If a recombinator returns more than one child, the multiple.children

parameter needs to be TRUE, which is the default. In case of multiple children produced these have to be placed within a list.
