Abstract. Point mutation has no effect on almost all linear programs. In two genetic programming (GP) computers (cyclic and bit flip) we calculate the fitness evaluations needed using steepest ascent and first ascent hill climbers and evolutionary search. We describe how the average fitness landscape scales with program length and give general bounds.
