Package org.moeaframework.core.operator

Class OnePointCrossover

java.lang.Object
org.moeaframework.core.operator.OnePointCrossover
All Implemented Interfaces:
Configurable, Variation
public class OnePointCrossover extends Object implements Variation
One-point or single-point crossover. A crossover point is selected and all decision variables to the left/right are swapped between the two parents. The two children resulting from this swapping are returned.

  • Method Details

    • getName

      public String getName()
      Description copied from interface: Variation
      Returns the name of this variation operator. This name should also be used as the prefix for any parameters. As such, the name should only contain alphanumeric characters, avoid using whitespace and other symbols.
      Specified by:
      getName in interface Variation
      Returns:
      the name of this variation operator

    • getProbability

      public double getProbability()
      Returns the probability of applying this operator to solutions.
      Returns:
      the probability

    • setProbability

      public void setProbability(double probability)
      Sets the probability of applying this operator to solutions.
      Parameters:
      probability - the probability between 0.0 and 1.0, inclusive

    • evolve

      public Solution[] evolve(Solution[] parents)
      Description copied from interface: Variation
      Evolves one or more parent solutions (specified by getArity) and produces one or more child solutions. By contract, the parents must not be modified. The copy constructor should be used to create copies of the parents with these copies subsequently modified.
      Specified by:
      evolve in interface Variation
      Parameters:
      parents - the array of parent solutions
      Returns:
      an array of child solutions

    • getArity

      public int getArity()
      Description copied from interface: Variation
      Returns the number of solutions that must be supplied to the evolve method.
      Specified by:
      getArity in interface Variation
      Returns:
      the number of solutions that must be supplied to the evolve method
