  • Abstract
    Evolutionary programming typically uses tournament selection to choose parents for reproduction. Tournaments naturally emphasize survival. However, a natural opposite of survival is extinction, and a study of the fossil record shows extinction plays a key role in the evolutionary process. This paper presents a new evolutionary algorithm that emphasizes extinction to conduct search operations over a fitness landscape
