Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::NoChangeTerm(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::NoChangeTerm(3)

    Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::NoChangeTerm - Checks for termination of an algorithm; terminates
                   when several generations transcur without change

    my $nct = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::NoChangeTerm 10; 
    #nct->apply( \@pop ) will return false after 10 generations w/o change

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::NoChangeTerm is used when we want an algorithm to finish when the population has stagnated, or the global optimum is found. It counts how many generations the population has not changed, and returns false after that limit is reached.

It is useful if you want to run an algorithm for a certain time, or if you want to apply some fancy diversity operator

Creates a new terminator. Takes as an argument the number of generations after which it will return false, which defaults to 10.

Checks if the first member of the population has the same fitness as before, and increments counter. The population should be ordered

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::FullAlgorithm needs an object of this class to check for the termination condition. It's normally used alongside "generation-type" objects such as Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Easy.

There are other options for termination conditions: Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::DeltaTerm and Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::GenerationalTerm.
