• abstract = "In various nuances of evolutionary algorithms it has been observed that variable sized genomes exhibit large degrees of redundancy and corresponding undue growth. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as ``bloat.'' The present contribution investigates the role of crossover operators as the cause for length changes in variable length genetic algorithms and linear GP. Three crossover operators are defined; each is tested with three different fitness functions. The aim of this article is to indicate suitable designs of crossover operators that allow efficient exploration of designs of solutions of a wide variety of sizes, while at the same time avoiding bloat.",
