Recombination

variation operator, which merges the genetic information of two or more parent individuals producing one or more descendants, the so-called recombinants. In canonical GAs, normally two recombinants are produced by crossover using two parents. In ES, intermediate and discrete recombination are used (creating always one recombinant).
