ListGenotype<E>
All Known Implementing Classes:
BooleanGenotype, BooleanMapGenotype, CompositeGenotype, DoubleGenotype, DoubleMapGenotype, IntegerGenotype, IntegerMapGenotype, PermutationGenotype, SelectGenotype, SelectMapGenotype
public interface Genotype
The Genotype represents a marker interface. A Genotype represents the genetic encoding of a solution of the optimization problem. Thus, a Genotype can be decoded to a Phenotype with an appropriate Decoder.
