Abstract

Simple genetic algorithms on populations of $l$-binary words usually become iterative systems on $2^l$ dimensional spaces when populations have size infinite. However, in a particular model (BCCG model) previously introduced, it has been shown that the iterative system works in a $l$-dimensional space.
In this paper we propose a simplification of the BCCG model and we analyze it in the case of large but finite-size populations. In particular:
1. We exhibit a Markov chain with states in $\Re^l$ that approximates the system behavior.
2. We estimate the steady state distribution of the Markov chain.
