We met twice. We began considering some topics for research some of which are still a possibility others do not appear to be suited for genetic programing. the topics we have been thing about are :
1. SAT solvers. We considered using GP to evolve a better SAT solver. This Idea has been abandoned because a SAT solver answers question which does not have degrees of “correctness” but rather a binary true or false answer.
2. Linear Programing. still a possibility. This project would involve adding new functionality to Push.
3. Automatic Theorem Proving. Again still a possibility, this problem is attractive because there is a wealth of data on which we can test our program. We have also been searching our respective mathematical social networks for possible research topics. some literature:
