Valence correct molecular structures using cellular encoding

Abstract

A method for developing a valence correct molecular structure using cellular encoding in which a set of basic types are determined for a set of basic components of the valence correct molecular structure. Each of a set of development operators for developing the valence correct molecular structure are associated with one or more of the basic types and an organism having a tree arrangement of the development operators is generated by matching the basic types associated with connections among the development operators in the tree. The matching among typed development operators reduces the likelihood of creating an unfit organism. The development of a valence correct molecular structure using cellular encoding may be used in conjunction with genetic programming to evolve a molecular structure. The type matching reduces the likelihood of creating unfit child organisms, thereby increasing the likelihood and speed of convergence to a solution for a desired valence correct molecular structure.
