Evolutionary programming

Evolutionary programming is an evolutionary algorithm, where a share of the new population is created by mutating the previous population without crossover. Evolutionary programming differs from evolution strategy ES( \mu+\lambda ) in one detail. All individuals are selected for the new population, while in ES( \mu+\lambda ), every individual has the same probability to be selected. It is one of the four major evolutionary algorithm paradigms.
