abstract = "Three innovations are proposed for dynamically varying
the population size during the run of the genetic
programming (GP) system. These are related to what is
called Dynamic Population Variation (DPV), where the
size of the population is dynamically varied using a
heuristic feedback mechanism during the execution of
the GP with the aim of reducing the computational
effort compared with Standard Genetic Programming
(SGP). Firstly, previously developed population
variation pivot functions are controlled by four newly
proposed characteristic measures. Secondly, a new
gradient based pivot function is added to this dynamic
population variation method in conjunction with the
four proposed measures. Thirdly, a formula for
population variations that is independent of special
constants is introduced and evaluated. The efficacy of
these innovations is examined using a comprehensive
range of standard representative problems. It is shown
that the new ideas do have the capacity to provide
solutions at a lower computational cost compared with
standard genetic programming and previously reported
algorithms such as the plague operator and the static
population variation schemes previously introduced by
the authors.",
