The AX operator calculates the simple arithmetic mean of the parental chromosomes. Therefore, it is a single-output operator and generates a single offspring (Gwiazda, 2006).
Usage
ax(x1, x2, cxon, ...)
Arguments
x1
A vector. It contains the chromosomal information of parent-1.
x2
A vector. It contains the chromosomal information of parent-2.
cxon
Number of offspring to be generated as a result of crossover
…
Further arguments passed to or from other methods.
Value
A matrix containing the generated offsprings.
