Abstract:
This paper makes a first attempt to study and verify empirically the
theory of proposed continuation operators through systematic formulation
of experiments. Both the basic, and in a sense bounding, cases of
building block salience, as encountered in difficult problems, are dealt
with individually. Experimental results closely match theory and assure
us of the usefulness of an apt blend of continuation operators with
epoch-wise runs.
