SMCGP2: finding algorithms that approximate numerical constants using quaternions and complex numbers

Published:12 July 2011Publication History

ABSTRACT

Self Modifying Cartesian Genetic Programming 2 (SMCGP2) is a general purpose, graph-based, developmental form of Cartesian Genetic Programming. Using a combination of computational functions and special functions that can modify the phenotype at runtime, it has been employed to find general solutions to a number of computational problems. Here, we apply the new SMCGP technique to find mathematical relationships between well known mathematical constants (i.e. pi, e, phi, omega etc) using a variety of functions sets. Some of formulae obtained are distinctly unusual and may be unknown in mathematics.
