• abstract = "This work is a study of the viability of using complex building blocks (termed molecules) within the evolutionary computation paradigm of CGP; extending it to MolCGP. Increasing the complexity of the building blocks increases the design space that is to be explored to find a solution; thus, experiments were undertaken to find out whether this change affects the optimum parameter settings required. It was observed that the same degree of neutrality and (greedy) 1+4 evolution strategy gave optimum performance. The Computational Effort used to solve a series of benchmark problems was calculated, and compared with that used for the standard implementation of CGP. Significantly less Computational Effort was exerted by MolCGP in 3 out of 4 of the benchmark problems tested. Additionally, one of the evolved solutions to the 2-bit multiplier problem was examined, and it was observed that functionality present in the molecules, was exploited by evolution in a way that would be highly unlikely if using standard design techniques.",
