• abstract = "Fitness distance correlation as a measure of problem difficulty in genetic programming. A new definition of distance, called structural distance, is used and suitable mutation operators for the program space are defined. The difficulty is studied for a number of problems, including, for the first time in GP, multimodal ones, both for the new hand-tailored mutation operators and standard crossover. Results are in agreement with empirical observations, thus confirming that fitness distance correlation can be considered a reasonable index of difficulty for genetic programming, at least for the set of problems studied here.",
