ABSTRACT
We formulate a formal grammar to generate Full Approximation Scheme multigrid solvers. Then, using Grammar-Guided Genetic Programming we perform a multiobjective optimization to find optimal instances of such solvers for a given nonlinear system of equations. This approach is evaluated for a two-dimensional Poisson problem with added nonlinearities. We observe that the evolved solvers outperform the baseline methods by having a faster runtime and a higher convergence rate.

Comparing the expressive power of Strongly-Typed and Grammar-Guided Genetic Programming
GECCO '23: Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation ConferenceSince Genetic Programming (GP) has been proposed, several flavors of GP have arisen, each with their own strengths and limitations. Grammar-Guided and Strongly-Typed GP (GGGP and STGP, respectively) are two popular flavors that have the advantage of ...
