Abstract：Gene expression programming (GEP) is an automatic programming approach which is widely used in many areas. As far as the decoding method is concerned,it uses the breadth-first principle to transform individuals into expressions. It means that the meaning of a gene segment will change with the context. Consequently,any individual can not be concurrently evaluated in most existing GEPs. In this paper,the theoretical analysis and experiments show that the depth-first principle as well as multi-solution techniques,i.e. techniques for encoding of multiple solutions into a single chromosome,can not only solve the mentioned GEP problem,but also significantly improve its performance.
