Keeping individuals unique after crossover, mutating etc.

[Jake Cowton]

I have implemented the eaSimple algorithm that comes packaged in DEAP; using cxPartialyMatched(), mutShuffleIndexes() and selTournament().

The individuals looks something like this:

[1, 3, 2, 0, -1, -1]

-1s can occur a multiple amount of times, but positive indexes must only occur once!

When I crossover and mutate my individuals, I often get duplicate positive integers (for obvious reasons), is there a way I can stop this?

So to clarify, I'm looking for a way to crossover and mutate individuals without creating any duplicates of positive integers (but negatives can be duplicated).

I never seen anything like this. You will surely have to create your own custom crossover. It is certainly not standard GA ;)

I managed to overcome this by using another objective to maximise the number of values >= 0.
