RT Conference Proceedings T1 Evolving under small disruption A1 Dassow, Jürgen A1 Martín Reyes, Gema María A1 Vico-Vela, Francisco José K1 Computación evolutiva AB We extend the edit operators of substitution, deletion, and insertion of a symbol over a wordby introducing two new operators (partial copy and partial elimination) inspired by biologicalgene duplication. We de ne a disruption measure for an operator over a word and prove thatwhereas the traditional edit operators are disruptive, partial copy and partial elimination arenon-disruptive. Moreover, we show that the application of only edit operators does not generate(with low disruption) all the words over a binary alphabet, but this can indeed be done bycombining partial copy and partial elimination with the substitution operator.
