  abstract =     "Many real world problems have a structure where small
                 problem instances are embedded within large problem
                 instances, or where solution quality for large problem
                 instances is loosely correlated to that of small
                 problem instances. This structure can be exploited
                 because smaller problem instances typically have
                 smaller search spaces and are cheaper to evaluate. We
                 present an evolutionary algorithm, INCREA, which is
                 designed to incrementally solve a large, noisy,
                 computationally expensive problem by deriving its
                 initial population through recursively running itself
                 on problem instances of smaller sizes. The INCREA
                 algorithm also expands and shrinks its population each
                 generation and cuts off work that doesn't appear to
                 promise a fruitful result. For further efficiency, it
                 addresses noisy solution quality efficiently by
                 focusing on resolving it for small, potentially
                 reusable solutions which have a much lower cost of
                 evaluation. We compare INCREA to a general purpose
                 evolutionary algorithm and find that in most cases
                 INCREA arrives at the same solution in significantly
                 less time.",

                 Looks at recursive sort and which chooses one of 4
                 types of sort (Insertion sort, quick sort, radix sort
                 and a dummy) to use at each level of recursion. Noisy
                 fitness evaluation (run for real, not simulation). uses
                 T-test (trying to be too fair?). Examples: sort, matrix
                 multiply (matmult) and eig (symmetric eigen
                 problem).
