Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system for solving a programming problem using genetic programming techniques. A fitness function measures the relative superiority of a first solution with respect to a second solution. The genetic programming system creates multiple program gene strings containing graph reduction operators. Each program gene string represents a potential solution to the programming problem being solved. Input data is applied to each program gene string to generate a solution for each gene string. Each program gene string is evaluated by comparing the solution to the fitness function. The program gene strings are evolved based on the evaluation of their fitness. The gene strings are repeatedly evolved until a termination criteria has been satisfied.
