Chromosome with non repeated alleles

Question

I read a recommendation of how to find non-duplicated chromosomes: using JGAp (genetic algorithm library) and the duplicated chromosomes

How do you find a chromosome with non-repeated alleles using JGAP?

Answer 1

I have been thinking about this problem recently too...

My current solution is simply to include a large penalty in the fitness function of my genetic algorithm, when the chromosome contains duplicate alleles.

Whilst I imagine there are better ways of approaching this problem, this seems to be working - for my purposes at least..
