abstract = "his report addresses the problem of synthesizing
integer recurrences by genetic programming (GP). A
number of alternative approaches were proposed and
tested by running thousands of experiments. In
particular the following aspects were investigated:
approaches to base cases, population size, different
fitness measures and superiority of GP over random
search. Results of the experiments showed that our
approach (fixed base cases) is much better than the
conventional one (evolved base cases) on...",
