Coevolution of Algorithms and Deterministic Solution of Equations in Free Groups

We discuss the use of evolutionary algorithms for solving problems in combinatorial group theory, using a class of equations in free groups as a test bench.

Zusammenfassung:We discuss the use of evolutionary algorithms for solving problems in combinatorial group theory, using a class of equations in free groups as a test bench. We find that, in this context, there seems to be a correlation between successful evolutionary algorithms and the existence of good deterministic algorithms. We also trace the convergence of co-evolution of the population of fitness functions to a deterministic solution.
