Abstract:
This study addresses the issue of building block supply in the initial
population. Facetwise models for supply of a single building block as well
as for supply of all schemata in a partition have been developed. An
estimate for the population size required to ensure the presence of all
raw building blocks has been derived using these facetwise models. The
facetwise models and the population sizing estimate are verified with
computational results.
