Class OnePointCrossover<T>

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.commons.math3.genetics.OnePointCrossover<T>

Type Parameters:

T - generic type of the AbstractListChromosomes for crossover

All Implemented Interfaces:

CrossoverPolicy

public class OnePointCrossover<T>
extends Object
implements CrossoverPolicy

One point crossover policy. A random crossover point is selected and the first part from each parent is copied to the corresponding child, and the second parts are copied crosswise. Example:

 -C- denotes a crossover point
                   -C-                                 -C-
 p1 = (1 0 1 0 0 1  | 0 1 1)    X    p2 = (0 1 1 0 1 0  | 1 1 1)
      \------------/ \-----/              \------------/ \-----/
            ||         (*)                       ||        (**)
            VV         (**)                      VV        (*)
      /------------\ /-----\              /------------\ /-----\
 c1 = (1 0 1 0 0 1  | 1 1 1)    X    c2 = (0 1 1 0 1 0  | 0 1 1)
 

This policy works only on AbstractListChromosome, and therefore it is parameterized by T. Moreover, the chromosomes must have same lengths.

crossover

public ChromosomePair crossover(Chromosome first,

Performs one point crossover. A random crossover point is selected and the first part from each parent is copied to the corresponding child, and the second parts are copied crosswise. Example:

 -C- denotes a crossover point
                   -C-                                 -C-
 p1 = (1 0 1 0 0 1  | 0 1 1)    X    p2 = (0 1 1 0 1 0  | 1 1 1)

 c1 = (1 0 1 0 0 1  | 1 1 1)    X    c2 = (0 1 1 0 1 0  | 0 1 1)
 

Specified by:

crossover in interface CrossoverPolicy

Parameters:

first - first parent (p1)

second - second parent (p2)

Returns:

pair of two children (c1,c2)

Throws:

MathIllegalArgumentException - iff one of the chromosomes is not an instance of AbstractListChromosome

DimensionMismatchException - if the length of the two chromosomes is different
