Global progress in competitive co-evolution: a systematic comparison of alternative methods by Stefano Nolfi, Paolo Pagliuca

“…In this respect, competitive co-evolution is a widespread technique in which the coexistence of different learning agents fosters adaptation, which in turn makes agents experience continuously varying environmental conditions. However, a major pitfall is related to the emergence of endless limit cycles where agents discover, forget and rediscover similar strategies during evolution. …”
