/**
 * Simplex crossover (SPX) operator.  SPX is a multiparent operator, allowing a
 * user-defined number of parents and offspring.  The parents form a convex 
 * hull, called a simplex.  Offspring are generated uniformly at random from 
 * within the simplex.  The expansion rate parameter can be used to expand the
 * size of the simplex beyond the bounds of the parents.  For example, the 
 * figure below shows three parent points and the offspring distribution, 
 * clearly filling an expanded triangular simplex.
 *
