Exercise 5.3 Locally optimized crossover. Some local optimization search pro- cedure may be applied to the crossover operator. The role of the crossover operator is to generate intermediate offsprings from the parents. Among intermediate solutions, the crossover operator is blind in the sense that it will select an arbitrary one. Path generation from one parent to another may be a good strategy to recombination.
