=head1 NAME

Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::ArithCrossover - Arithmetic crossover operator; performs the average of the n parents crossed
                 

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  my $xmlStr6=<<EOC; #Create it from XML
  <op name='ArithCrossover' type='binary' rate='1' />
  EOC
  my $ref6 = XMLin($xmlStr6);
  my $op6 = Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base->fromXML( $ref6 );
  print $op6->asXML(), "\n";
  $op6->apply( $indi4, $indi5 );
  print $indi4->asString(), "\n"

  my $op = new Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::ArithCrossover; #Create from scratch

=head1 Base Class

L<Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base|Algorithm::Evolutionary::Op::Base>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Crossover operator for a vector-rep individual

=head2 create()

Creates the operator, but is more or less empty. Does not have instance variables

=cut

sub create {
  my $class = shift;
  my $self;
  bless $self, $class;
  return $self;
}

=head2 apply( $chromosome_1, $chromosome_2 )

Applies xover operator to a "Chromosome", a vector of stuff,
