Abstract :
We present in this work the application of a set of different evolutionary methodologies in the problem of electronic filter design. The main objectives are to find out which constraints in the filter topologies, if any, must be observed along the evolutionary process and to study the problem of convergence to parsimonious circuits. The new area of evolutionary electronics is introduced, an evolutionary methodology based on variable length representation is presented and the results on the evolution of low-pass and band-pass filters are described
