                 for tree based genetic programming are described and
                 tested. Both produce considerably reduced increases in
                 program size (ie less bloat) and no detrimental effect
                 on GP performance.

                 GP search spaces are partitioned by the ridge in the
                 number of program versus their size and depth. While
                 search efficiency is little effected by initial
                 conditions, these do strongly influence which half of
                 the search space is searched. However a ramped uniform
                 random initialisation is described which straddles the
                 ridge.

                 With subtree crossover trees increase about one level
                 per generation leading to sub-quadratic bloat in
                 program length.",
