  abstract =     "Shin et al [19] and McKay et al [15] previously
                 applied tree compression and semantics-based
                 simplification to study the distribution of building
                 blocks in evolving Genetic Programming populations.
                 However their method could only give static estimates
                 of the degree of repetition of building blocks in one
                 generation at a time, supplying no information about
                 the flow of building blocks between generations. Here,
                 we use a state-of-the-art tree compression algorithm,
                 xmlppm, to estimate the extent to which frequent
                 building blocks from one generation are still in use in
                 a later generation.

                 While they compared the behaviour of different GP
                 algorithms on one specific problem -- a simple symbolic
                 regression problem -- we extend the analysis to a more
                 complex problem, a symbolic regression problem to find
                 a Fourier approximation to a sawtooth wave, and to a
                 Boolean domain, odd parity.",
