Abstract

Mutation operation is used to introduce a small perturbation in the population from time to time so as to maintain its diversity. Several mutation operations have been developed for genetic programming. This paper is to study the impact of mutation operation on the performance of genetic programming. We present six types of mutation operations that have been applied in the simulated annealing programming (SAP) algorithm, which is an algorithm used to design stream ciphers using genetic programming and simulated annealing. Experiments performed to study the effectiveness of these operations in solving the underlying problem. It has been shown that mutation operation can affect the performance of genetic programming, especially when it is used to solve complex problems.
