Constructor Detail

• BinaryChromosome

  public BinaryChromosome(List<Integer> representation)
                   throws InvalidRepresentationException

  Constructor.

  Parameters:

  representation - list of {0,1} values representing the chromosome

  Throws:

  InvalidRepresentationException - iff the representation can not represent a valid chromosome

• BinaryChromosome

  public BinaryChromosome(Integer[] representation)
                   throws InvalidRepresentationException

  Constructor.

  Parameters:

  representation - array of {0,1} values representing the chromosome

  Throws:

  InvalidRepresentationException - iff the representation can not represent a valid chromosome

Method Detail

• checkValidity

  protected void checkValidity(List<Integer> chromosomeRepresentation)
                        throws InvalidRepresentationException

  Asserts that representation can represent a valid chromosome.

  Specified by:

  checkValidity in class AbstractListChromosome<Integer>

  Parameters:

  chromosomeRepresentation - representation of the chromosome

  Throws:

  InvalidRepresentationException - iff the representation can not represent a valid chromosome

• randomBinaryRepresentation

  public static List<Integer> randomBinaryRepresentation(int length)

  Returns a representation of a random binary array of length length.

  Parameters:

  length - length of the array

  Returns:

  a random binary array of length length

• isSame

  protected boolean isSame(Chromosome another)

  Description copied from class: Chromosome
  Returns true iff another has the same representation and therefore the same fitness. By default, it returns false -- override it in your implementation if you need it.

  Overrides:

  isSame in class Chromosome

  Parameters:

  another - chromosome to compare

  Returns:

  true if another is equivalent to this chromosome
