abstract = "Bloat may occur when evolution allows chromosome
growth. Recently it has been shown that elitism can
inhibit bloat. Here we study interactions between
growth, elitism, and fitness landscapes. Our results
show that in some cases elitism neither constrains
growth nor increases the rate of fitness accumulation,
and when elitism does constrain growth it may stall the
search completely.",
