An unususal GP implementation is proposed, based on a more "economic" exploitation of the GP algorithm: the "individual" approach, where each individual of the population embodies a single function rather than a set of functions. The final solution is then a set of individuals. Examples are presented where results are obtained more rapidly than with the conventional approach, where all individuals of the final generation but one are discarded.
