Abstract
Diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) is a simulation technique for modeling dendritic growth. It has seen limited use for artistic purposes. We consider an evolutionary scheme for evolving DLA compositions with multiple seed particles. As a consequence we are led to consider robustness and stability issues related to the use of evolutionary computation whose phenotypes invoke inherently random processes.
