On the incongruence of genotype-phenotype and fitness landscapes
Fig 5
Global incongruence: NK genotype-phenotype landscapes.
The absolute change in the number of peaks in the fitness landscape, relative to the genotype-phenotype landscape, is shown in relation to wopt for genotypes of length (A) L = 5 and (C) L = 8, as K increases from zero to L − 1. The corresponding probability of change in the number of peaks is shown in relation to wopt for genotypes of length (B) L = 5 and (D) L = 8, as K increases from zero to L − 1. These results are independent of σ, because they only depend on the rank ordering of fitness values.
