abstract = "The authors employ multiple crossovers as a novel
natural extension to crossovers as a mixing operator.
They use this as a framework to explore the ideas of
code growth. Empirical support is given for popular
theories for mechanisms of code growth. Three specific
algorithms for multiple crossovers are compared with
classic methods for performance in terms of fitness and
genome size. The details of the performance of these
algorithms is examined in detail for both practical
value and theoretical implications. The authors
conclude that multiple crossovers is a practical scheme
for containing code growth without a significant loss
of fitness.",
