Wave: A Genetic Programming Approach to Divide and Conquer

This work introduces Wave, a divide and conquer approach to GP whereby a sequence of short, and dependent but potentially heterogeneous GP runs provides a collective solution; the sequence akins wave such that each short GP run is a period of the wave. Heterogeneity across periods results from varying settings of system parameters, such as population size or number of generations, and also by alternating use of the popular GP technique known as linear scaling.
