Abstract
This paper provides a short, informal illustration of
a selection scheme based on the key idea of
competition, particularly suited for genetic
programming, which provides a way to do without the
explicit definition of a fitness function. In many
tasks, competition between two individuals on one
problem instance chosen according to some probability
can be a valid alternative to defining an appropriate
fitness function that includes a priori knowledge of
the problem, which requires...
