Analytic Solutions to Differential Equations under Graph-Based Genetic Programming

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 6021))

Abstract

Cartesian Genetic Programming (CGP) is applied to solving differential equations (DE). We illustrate that repeated elements in analytic solutions to DE can be exploited under GP. An analysis is carried out of the search space in tree and CGP frameworks, examining the complexity of different DE problems. Experimental results are provided against benchmark ordinary and partial differential equations. A system of ordinary differential equations (SODE) is solved using multiple outputs from a genome. We discuss best heuristics when generating DE solutions through evolutionary search.
