title = "Selective crossover: Towards fitter offspring",
abstract = "A new general purpose crossover operator is proposed. The representation of a parent chromosome is slightly perturbed, and the ensuing changes in fitness are calculated. Such fitness changes are used in constructing the offspring resulting from crossover. Experiments on four sets of optimization problems demonstrate that this approach leads to rapid increases in average and best fitness, performing much better than commonly used general purpose crossover operators.",
