Abstract
We present experiments investigating the use of multi--chromosomal representations in evolutionary algorithms. Specifically, the conventional representation of parameters on a single chromosome is compared to a genotype encoding with multiple chromosomes on a set of test functions. In this context we present chromosome shuffling, a genetic operator recombining complete chromosomes based on biological evidence. The hypothesis that the multi--chromosomal representation ameliorates the transmission of good sub--solutions to the population is tested on functions of varying degree of complexity.
